Anyone Can Become a Politician as Long as They Win the Election – Nothing but a Risk.
Choosing Politicians through Elections Should Stop.
Just Like Selecting Bureaucrats and Legal Professionals; Perhaps It's Better to Choose Politicians from Qualified Exam Passers.
In the past, being a graduate of the University of Tokyo was synonymous with being disliked.
However, looking at the unintelligent politicians in this country, one might start to think that for the politicians of the world-renowned nation of Japan, it might be necessary to have at least graduated from the University of Tokyo.
Using the distasteful comparison to the University of Tokyo, I apologize, but what I want to say is that it might be better for politicians to be selected from qualified exam passers.
The reason is that the current situation, where anyone can become a politician as long as they win the election, is nothing but a risk.
In the worst case, democracy could be abused and the possibility of a dictator emerging is also present.
As evident from the case of the Unification Church, politicians are individuals who, in order to win elections, might even sell their souls to the devil.
Therefore, as long as the electoral system exists, we are left with no choice but to elect individuals who are like minions of this devil as our representatives.
This situation would hardly qualify as a decent first-rate nation.
Perhaps it's time to stop choosing politicians through elections and instead, just like selecting career bureaucrats, legal professionals, and certified public accountants, choose politicians from those who have passed qualification exams.
However, even if they are intelligent, it doesn't guarantee they are people of good character.
Therefore, what the content of the exam should be is important.
Still, the intelligent ones tend to enjoy exams.
They would easily clear them.
It might just end up generating new problems.
Now, dreams end here.
Reality is a different matter altogether.
If someone were to propose reforming the current electoral system, the politicians who love elections, political dynasties, and supporters of politicians would likely be the first to oppose.
Either way, reforming the system is difficult.
Reforms to the democratic system might be buried by democracy itself. That seems to be the reality of today's Japan.
