We like to think that the best of the best get elected, but more often than not they turn out to be corrupt or stupid. That's because it is literally impossible to get anywhere unless you're a member of a certain family, have certain business affiliations, or know the right people. Good ideas, ability, and character seem to be the last things that get people elected.

It is true but it is not the only way. Imagine if a celebrity were to run for mayor. I'm 95% sure that celebrity would win. Connections take you where you want to be, but the public eye is what's important. I plan myself to run for mayor, then move up slowly with a ultimate goal of Prime Minister.
It might sound like a insane stoner idea, but I plan to study computer programming and extensively study hypnotherapy and NLP. Something like a Derren Brown crossed with a Computer Hacker.
