From today I propose that everyone entering into what is arguably the job which caries the most responsibility in any society, that of the elected civil servant will have to under go a series of rigorous tests before being allowed to enter into politics.
First of all the psychological test; As citizens we need to know how high the prospective civil servant scores on say the Hare psychopathy test, the Narcissist and Borderline test and other assorted Psychological personality traits which will be magnified by the amount of power a prospective politician will be given. We do not want compulsive Gamblers such as Bankers with a psychopathic tendency and Housewives with control freak tendencies in what is after all a role in which service to all citizens and not to an already unfairly blessed segment of our society is paramount. Scores higher than the very low on such list are reason for instant refusal to let the individual continue on his/her path to becoming our elected servants
Second is the Physical test; Obviously we will want our public servants to be in optimal physical condition in order for them to assume the many exhausting hours they will have to spend representing our interests. Obesity, bad condition and diseases such as diabetes and other physical impairments to being our servants are not in our interest and will not be tolerated as they are clearly the result of bad lifestyle choices and rule out an ability to serve our best interest.
Last but not least they will be rigorously tested on the use of drugs and that includes all drugs such as alcohol, Cocaine and marijuana. They will also be tested on the drugs prescribed by big pharma as the use of all of these drugs illegal or legal reflects on the personality of the Public servant to be. As we entrust on them our very existence and Nation I think it’s nothing short of essential that at least a year before the attempted political role the person in question should be clean and in good health. It is is also essential that the person involved be clean and not use any drug at all. No alcohol, not illegal drugs of any kind and most certainly no big Pharma drugs.
And in order to ensure that they keep to their side of the deal I suggest that they will be subject to random drug testing to which they have to submit at least five times a year. Refusal to do so is reason for instant dismissal and a ban on ever being able to return to the political arena.

they should not be paid. that is an obvious idiocy. their community which elected them should pay expenses, thus hold them directly accountable.
Love your humour.
Thanks!
They do put them through the psychological tests – hence the psychopaths sit in the lead roles.
Hardly any of them would pass an alcohol test. Perhaps you should also propose that the children of the politicians are also tested for their drug and alcohol habits, after all they are calling for the daughters of beneficiaries to be forced into taking contraception.
I’d love to see the pie eating, agenda 21, Gerry Brownlee pass a physical! That would be worth pulling the popcorn out for.
Great proposals!
this is exactly what we need. don’t forget paid by performance as well.
I agree
Are you retarded ?
No, but you obviously are!
