Job vacancy

A good blustery run through the woods before returning to the Highlands.
In Spiegel Online last week, veteran philosopher Jürgen Habermas spoke of his anger at our politicians who have long been incapable of aspiring to anything whatsoever other than being re-elected. They have no political substance whatsoever, no conviction (ref). These same politicians are now simultaneously meddling with two of the consequences of decades of short-sighted selfishness - financial insecurity in an unsustainable capitalist culture, and escalating carbon emissions in a warming climate. So much for democracy. Does anyone know a really smart and benign dictator ?
