The major of my city is a proven liar. She was elected nonetheless. The president of my country seems to be somehow more or less losely involved in fraud at enourmous scales. He was elected nonetheless. I feel like people stopped caring long ago. And by now we seem to have only the choice between different liars and fraudsters at the voting bill. Maybe this was always like this. But I often wonder: How did we get such beautiful democratic systems (in some european countries at least, and yes I know it's not perfect) if not by much more competent and ethically intact politicians? I try to understand, but I have a hard time.
