Polling Station

There was an election today. I know very little about politics, especially in the UK, but this 'polling station' in the middle of my street amused me for some reason. It looks like an office on a construction site, not where the leader of a country is chosen.

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
