All politicans in a vote should have to take a test about general knowledge of politics, history, philosophie. geography, economics and science.

@TheunderdogofNY This

@TheunderdogofNY its still a vote... but that was the voters can easily see how capable a candidate is

@Sunshine04 As far as being educated? Possibly. But if that's the case during research you could look up your potential candidate's education and previous work history which should be made readily available. In fact all their credentials should be made readily available.

If that kind of thing matters to you. What matters to me is their ability to stand firm on issues that matter to the people that voted for them.

In addition, they need to excel at negotiating when things come to a stalemate.

@JT123 exactly.. or where the current president doesnt know the difference between balcan and baltics

@Sunshine04 that goes both ways I'm sure. I doubt leaders of other countries know every name and part of the USA

@JT123 yeah... but thats what i would want politicans to know. i mean its like a job interview they give you tests there too

@MethDozer the only thing worse then elites is having no elites.

@Sunshine04 No.
