Why arent the smartest people running our countries?

[Mr_Moore]

In Sweden every political debate that takes place in the government is broadcasted live so that everyone can follow the discussions.
First someone starts of the with his opinions regarding the topic of the day and then debate ensues.
The debate that follows is for the most part of the time completly useless. People are basically quoting what they had earlier stated and are unable to properly discuss outside of that.
That is even more true for the socialist politicians.
Some of them are completly retarded and i would not hire them to clean my apartment and yet they are a part of those who run this country.
I am wandering of here but what i want to say is that information is often twisted and misinterpreted and debates are often completly useless and i assume that many people are often having difficulties following it.
Intelligent debate is often impossible to find.
I assume that many politicians are of course doing this on purpose and then there are those who are simply retarded and you wonder how on earth they got to that position of power.
I think there should be better ways of presenting information. I would like to see the debates based on facts that are properly presented every single time. I would like to see independent intelligent judges to maintain the debates and step in when some one is completly avoiding questions and saying retarded things.
I hate it when people are willingly twisting the truth and avoiding questions, actually i despise them and think they should be sent to jail.
So as you probably understand i found it almost unbearable to watch the debate and ask my self how this is possible?
The games and twisting of truths and questionable debates at the highest level of politics? How is it possible to have retards running our countries?
Our former minster of economics failed mathematics in high school and did not have a university degree.
That makes you sleep well at night.

I would like politics to be treated like an exact science.
