With politicians having failed the people they represent miserably across Europe, its seems odd that now both Greece and Italy have turned to Technocrats.
"Technocracy is a form of government where technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields. Engineers, scientists, health professionals, and those who have knowledge, expertise or skills would compose the governing body. In a technocracy, decision makers would be selected based upon how knowledgeable and skillful they are in their field." source
[h=1]Europe: the rise of the technocracy - guardian[/h]Does it not make sense that technical experts should always be in charge? In any other industry when would you vote in popular people rather than the best man for the job, someone with an actual qualification. We have people who are career politicians who have never worked a day in their life (David Cameron ). Chancellors who know nothing about economics, defence minister who know nothing of international affairs or the army, frequent cabinet reshuffles presuming that any minister could do any job.
Do you think Technocrats are preferred to Politicians?
