Some American journalists are saying the Anglo American world has reached peak stupid..
It seems that opening the tap to big money in politics has bought us all a terrible problem, the problem of you can buy loyalty or you can buy competence but you cant buy both!
The fact is politicians need REAL skills especially to cope with un expected change the skill to raise money from rich donors is of very little use in the world of rational thought.
The Anglo American political world on both sides of the Atlantic has become fat and lazy. It is so bad that a 20 something waitress from the Bronx with no political training is running rings around them all.
It is common conversation in the UK, if you randomly pick a person off the street they would have far more ability, flexibility and common sense then any random Tory MP out of Westminster.
Seriously, if you where paying for these people to run you might want a refund !
