  • Russell Brown, in reply to Matthew Poole,

    It’s not unseemly when it’s politicians, because good political leaders should always be on the lookout for talent; there’s no hiring process, either, unlike for civil servants.

    Quite. It's an entirely different situation.

  • Rich of Observationz, in reply to Russell Brown,

    Politicians who get picked out for high office rather than working their way up through the party ranks tend to be crap at the job, though. (One advantage of not having an upper house is that anyone wanting to be a minister has at least to fight an election.)
