Elect news editors, academics and armchair critics

The calibre of politicians is not very inspiring today.

They seem to believe in very little and are only concerned about getting taxpayers' money spent in their electorate.

Look at the leaders: One knows how to make money, the other how to run a union, particularly the union bosses.

Neither is inspiring.

I reckon a new approach is needed.

Candidates should be selected from news editors, who seem to know what to do, or from moderate, intelligent academics and professors, plus solid armchair critics who know all the right moves and answers.

These people would be the solution to good government.
