With notable exceptions, it's truly depressing that so many of the people campaigning for public office live in fantasy worlds of their own creation.

It's an excellent argument for either replacing candidate self-selection with a random selection, like we do for jury duty. Or making heavy use of citizen's assemblies, with governments binding themselves to follow their recommendations.

Especially in areas like climate change, where we face an existential threat that requires *urgent* action.
