The people who would, shouldn't. The people who should, won't.
replyThere's an old SF short where one of the people who won't gets forced to. Battery of psychological tests followed by "you're one of the rulers now, and you're going to hate every minute of it, but we enslave you so the rest of us have a peaceful, prosperous planet."
replyWish I could remember the name/author.
Isaac Asimov had a story where one voter was selected by Multivac to pick the leader of the world.
replyThanks. Franchise. Not that one...
