[Quote No.57886] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Politicians are not necessarily experts in anything as their party usually has many policy advisors and they also can rely on their staff of experienced, permanent public servants:] It's hard to imagine a job that requires less education than that of government minister. It's also hard to imagine a job where the occupant is less likely to seek help than that of government minister. " - John David Hill
