No one sane wants the job.
But most people don’t understand what the actual job is day to day. What’s possible, what’s easy, what’s hard, what’s achievable, what’s inherited or even who is really ‘representing’ them - no one understands how performance and outcomes can be measured outside of this clown is just like the last one. A dead-end cyclical process.
And worst of all it’s a hidden popularity contest inside a (party) subset of society to toe the higher ups line, who feel like they deserve to decide how others live, love and die.
