RE: I'm not important.

That's absolutely true, but the premise there is "good governance". We have a highly corrupt government, no wonder as they come from a highly corrupt society. Good governance is incredibly rare these days, as individualism is taking over and the former meaning of politics, the serving the country, as turned into serving the ego first, then the pocket, and then maybe the country. There might be exceptions, but it's hard to find them for me.

And yet, you're right. The standards we should demand in politics should be just that. But politics stem from the people. And there's the incoherence that most people want politicians to adhere to those standards, yet the people themselves don't. There is not Top to bottom change, no trickle down of values. We have to work the roots before there will be any change. And nobody wants to work the roots. It's tedious. It's uncomfortable. Netflix is easier.
