Politics requires a certain level of Intelligence and a Definite Moral Attitude.

Politics requires a certain 'level of Intelligence' and a definite 'Moral Attitude'. The level of Intelligence 'addresses' a definite 'appreciation' of the 'Representative Nature' of all Democratic 'Politics'. 'Public Office' is a temporary endeavor and not a 'Professional Position'. Certainly, someone can be a Politician for a large Portion of ones Life, but, it must be understood that its a 'Representative endeavor' and in a Democracy, one of 'Public service'. In a Democracy, no one who does not have the 'Level of Intelligence' nor the required 'Moral Attitude' is 'capable' of Serving in Public Office. So how does someone who 'does not Read' get to the Highest Office in a Democracy? ( 'does not Read and does 'not know how to Read' are two different things, but that Issue has never been cleared up; and it never will be) The end result will be an Office Holder who acts from 'his' or 'her' 'Persona or Personality' and not from the 'Representative Nature of the Office'. All activities emanating from 'such a Representative' will be misunderstood as someone with a 'Political Agenda' but, in actuality, it will reflect a 'Value System' of the 'Personality'. No Personality 'driven act' can be interpreted as a 'Representative Act' or Policy or even a knowledgeable Political Act. Thats why a certain level of 'Intelligence' and a 'Definite Moral attitude' should be required of anyone who wishes to be a 'Politician'. Thats why, in a Democracy, Standards and Requirements should be established which qualifies any, every, and all, Candidates who wish to serve as 'Candidates For Public Office'. Don't Mis-Characterize or Mis-Represent the Acts and Activities of a Persona or Personality for the acts of a true 'Representative' who 'Represents and Serves' the 'People' in a Democracy. 'One', Serves the People, the 'Other', Rules them.
