Government should be administered by the 'unselfish'.

Government is just a 'political' structure crafted for the purpose of administering a Democratic form of government. "Democracy" is a form of government, that has been reduced to writing in the Constitution. Its basically a 'theoretical political structure'. That theoretical writing has to be 'related' to the Bottom of government, because that's where all the People are located, or stated differently, that's where the 'governed' are located. The Bottom of government can be referred to as a 'democratic'( little 'd') base where all the activities of the democracy are carried out. The Bottom is 'real' and the Top is linguistic.(general abstractions rule at the Top). Of course, we are using language to 'describe' a form of government, and the abstract rendition of the structure of government, any government for that matter, can be easily de-constructed. That is NOT our goal, and has never been our goal. But, when we de-construct its political structure, we see more easily, the nature of 'political power', and what is 'required' of anyone who is going to govern the many People at the Bottom. For example; There is no such thing as the Top!; There is no Bottom!; there is no middle!: (in actuality, we all live on the 'same geographical level') {well sort of; some geographically higher than others, but you get the point) The terms, "Top and Bottom" are political metaphors, and the so-called State or Nation is a 'fiction' and a metaphor. Truly, it has been geographically delineated by historical 'occurrences', and political shenanigans, and what we now call our "Nation"; and our "States", are all legal "fictions". Well, nevertheless, that's where we are; and the People at the Bottom are the 'governed'. But, the People are 'real', you and I are not fictions. But, my point is, understanding the 'thicket of legal fictions' within which we live, how is it that some 'political leaders' have such a big ego, when, in fact, they are leaders of "legal fictions" and 'linguistic metaphors'? To be sure, language and power, 'rules' at the Top of government; the Top that 'needs Leaders', and heaven knows, we at the Bottom need Leaders and States-persons, to govern us also, but, where do these Leaders get the idea that they're so important and so powerful? If elected, they really do seem to get a 'big head', and they really seem to feel 'powerful', even if only for a short time. The fact is that the people have 'attributed power', to the Top, of the political structure. Leaders and Office holders, need to be 'self-less'. We understand that's not easy, especially at such 'powerful', 'metaphorical levels', but stop thinking about yourself, and start thinking about the People, all the People. We want you there to do your job, but please understand 'your real situation' as a political Representative, and the needs of the 'real people' at the Bottom. That's government. We're not saying your not real, but as a Representative, put your 'personal ambitions' on hold. If you don't, the people will do it for you.
