Douglas Adams correct when he wrote:

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

[For president also read Prime minister.]

Like Billy Connolly said "The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.”

"Don't vote. It just encourages them...."

A quick look at the sort of people you get in positions of political power across the world and throughout history would tend to confirm that.

It's a variation on the old Groucho Marx quip about never joining a club that would have you as a member.

Or as Plato put it

Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.

I mean you could resolve the issue by decentralising power and increasing direct democracy, rather than simply electing leaders every 5 years.

Or we could just carry on and moan about it not working for another century.

Anarchy is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Anarchy is not necessarily a bad thing."

I would agree, it's an often misunderstood political philosophy. The ethos is one of no rulers not no rules.
