We live in an increasingly complex and dangerous world yet we place our trust in leaders who cannot be trusted. Can we really afford to continue like this?

@downshift4503 No, that is why there has been a succession of wars. I'ts just that now the potential cost and scale of major wars has increased beyond any imagination. My personal view is that individuals as leaders doesn't work. I would much rather see leadership by a small cross party group. That group would probably elect their own chairperson and spokesperson and general elections could be annually to fine tune the make up of the group over time. Voting could be done electronically similar to the filing of Tax Returns. I would also increase civil servant numbers and expertise in support of the group. In my view leadership of this nature would be more stable, more inclined to plan long term and be less willing to make to make rash decisions.

@downshift4503 Why is that?

@12theotherandrew Unfortunately it seems as though they can rarely be trusted.

@downshift4503 I can understand that it might have been human nature during medieval times but in the modern age we should have wised up. We still have a chance to change although it is a very slim one. Difficult to see how our species can survive if we don't but I doubt that I will still be here by then.
