Democracy or technocracy, what to choose?
In a society looking for maximum efficiency, we gave each function to those most knowledgeable in the field. Thus, the management of a country would be best left to administrators, economists most qualified.
But we are not in technocracy. We are in a democracy. It is the people who chooses; on criteria often very subjective.
Those are the most popular politicians and not the most competent to lead us. Their main quality is to be elected (and reelected), you can easily think that they devote their energy to this task rather than focus on the optimal management of the state. Reforms most needed but least popular are still sidelined.
Democracy finds its limits where its inefficiency.
