I don't think many of the current politicians in our western societies are capable of dealing with the disasters that are happening now.

What did you expect, our leaders are winners of a stupid popularity contest, called elections.

There are no tests or exams, you don't need a degree whatsoever to be allowed to participate in these contests. Nobody has to be a capable man or woman to become elected into office and nobody has to have common sense or has to be a responsable person, just being popular is enough.

Brown, like many others in his place, probably doesn't care about his citizens, the only thing he really cares about is his position.
