Standards to enter politics needed

In China, if you are not accomplished, educated, rich or wealthy, you are not allowed to enter politics.

China wants the best of the best to lead the country.

I'm not sure if that's right or wrong, but it is working for that country. That's why it is one of the superpowers.

A few years ago, one of the African countries took a decision that no-one will be a parliamentarian without a junior degree.

I don't know what informed that decision but it's a good one.

Parliamentarians should be able to understand complex issues and simplify them for citizens.
