Democracy is a sham: A low-comedic dumb-show to keep the masses placated and believing that they actually matter.

Always was, always will be, and one I've long since ceased to believe in--it does, however, make for great entertainment! Twisted Hey, "Bread and Circuses" works, no-one who has even the most basic understanding of human nature can deny that!

Proof:

The actual actions/track-record of the (post-1994) government in the OP's home country, among many, many other similar actions in many, many other countries. (BTW, has Julius Malema been hauled away in chains yet as he so richly deserves?)

Wither merit? And more importantly, how can we ensure that only those who prove superior merit ascend?

Oh, and don't you just adore the Goonies' current meme of using an utterly disgusting and offensive trivialisation of/attacks on people with a legitimate behavioural/social problem to try and shout-down anyone saying anything they don't happen to like. Do any of you idiots even know what Asperger's Syndrome is? Nice institutionalised ad hominem, bru...Roll

You stay classy, Goonies: Show all those huddled masses of inferior "pubbies" (whatever those areUgh) how it's done at the highest levels!

Aptitude and personality testing.

The French do this, I believe, or at least they used to?

To get certain government jobs, you have to take courses and sit exams, not just on entry, but throughout your career and upon being considered for promotion, IIRC.

Are you from SA, though? Sounds like it.

I propose that we all pitch in to get Mintrollio a new keyboard! With a working caps-lock key.

Even in the cases where some exams are taken, they usually rely on political "science", history and such. You still end up with Misters of transport who are too busy reading a newspaper while being chauffeur driven to know what traffic is like and have no idea how to even change a tire.

Bush senior and junior, Clintons, the Kennedys, "old boys' club" of England and so forth. The systems are being played like a well tuned instrument.

One of the problems is that usually the people who most desire the job and will jump through all the hoops to get it usually are the worst people for it.

^^And, this...It's axiomatic, practically.

So where do we find the most reluctant of leaders, and how to convince them that they need to step up?

Psychometric testing while they are still in the education system and before they hone their ability to deceive.

In EVE? I think that is the problem. "In EVE"
Every player has their own dreams and ideas of how they feel the game should be but the problem is that it isn't tempered by an understanding of game design. Their passion tends to blind them to the way their ideas would affect the rest of the game.

Aztec sacrifices were popular at one time.
Now there is an altar in EVE on which some players want to sacrifice others for the gratuitous slaughter that they feel entitled to have. They don't seem to realise that cheering on these priests will lead to a lack of real gaming in the long term future.

Yes. Set me free. Show me you've done it. All I see as a bunch of griping about popularity contests and talk of ... aptitude tests? That's hilarious on so many levels.

Anyhow, yes, democracy doesn't work if you're lazy.

Wrong assumption.

You are both under a similar belief that I ran for CSM or that you think I want to be in CSM.
You keep trying to attack me as a person, it is rather exasperating, like watching a child beating away at a noisy toy then looking up at you to make sure they have your attention. Roll

Meanwhile, I am saying that this process / system produces useless people and results, which may mislead CCP.
