And this is true no matter where you go, and no matter what political system you stumble across. The asd truth is that the passion to lead or govern has been subsumed by the will to wield power, and politicos everywhere understand inherently the value of the power that the possess.
Leaders, especially of nations, are not public servants. They are self-serving elite social parasites that have only one reason for being in office - it's good for THEM.
The fact the the WTO creates trade policy for every nation, and the World Bank enforces those policies and all financial transactions world wide, leaves goevernments to only deal with social issues, which they do not do very well anyway.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, or too cynical, but politics and government has lost it's way somewhere along to pathway, and we all pay the price for this universal democratic derailment.
