I have talked with several politicians in my life... IMHO, todays politicians are not the brightest people in the world - they are starting to look like the nobilities in the 16-18th century Europe.
At one time in our history we needed politicians, but today we could probably function even better without 90-95% of them.

I don't really see what the problem is. Either we have elections or we don't have elections. If we have elections, people who are the best at obtaining votes will win the elections. Politicians who act in their own best interest will have to act in the perceived interest of a good portion of the public or else they won't get re-elected.
The alternative is less representational government.
