Thankfully, that pipe dream never materialized. Politics looks way easier than it is - like somebody improvising in a jazz number - but do not try this at home. Politicians take years to learn how to restrain their thoughts, edit their speeches and keep their smiles going. Governing is another nightmare as one’s real enemies are in the same party. Former CEOs who think they can change things pronto are woefully ill-prepared to deal with the snail’s pace of progress that can be made. Everybody says no, or maybe, or let’s do a study. Danny Williams was a classic example of a brilliant lawyer and businessman who was not ready for political prime time when he became premier. In addition to possessing the creativity and energy of the entrepreneur and the eloquence of the salesman, the successful politician is incredibly resilient, able to take dog’s abuse from every quarter, and patient, ready to spend years shepherding legislation through so many hazards to reality. I'm not suggesting we blame the victim here but it would help if voters could up their game and try to be a little more governable. A better capacity for restraining their thoughts instead of jumping 20 feet in the air over things would help. 23 hours ago, SpankyMcFarland said: On the administration side of things, politicians must think like civil servants to some extent. They have to be cautious and careful - it’s not their money they are dealing with, after all. Procedures have to be meticulously followed and the natural temptation to do favours for friends resisted ruthlessly. So we’re talking about a veritable decathlon, or polyathlon, of skills here. Some of this is innate, of course, but it also has to be learned. This is why I think letting civilians waltz into Cabinet is a serious risk. I would prefer to see at least five years of MP experience before that. In summary, I am very much in favour of career politicians. A career politician with the skill sets of a civil servant sounds like a technocrat. There is a missing time factor here which needs to be thought of in terms of managing everyone's expectations. The attention span of a society and term of its elected administration is not well matched and there will always be a need to have some separation between politicking and administrating. Maybe there really should be a deep state to keep things humming along smoothly in the background while voters and their representatives can somehow harmlessly howl away at each other outside in the wilderness.
