Why can’t politicians see the simple truth
Be statesman and steward to those served
Public servants must lead their constituency
The welfare of the people must be preserved
Some people stay abreast of matters at hand
Of course all of them will never agree
Which is why leadership is required
To make the best decisions for you and me
When politics interfere with what seems right
A true leader knows to keep pride in check
At times people and leaders see differently
One secret to success is treat all with respect
The machinations of leading can be harsh
Disagreements arise and some get the worst
A statesman and leader must ensure
In nothing he decides should he come first
Politicians should have to study leadership
Not programs written by those without a care
But consisting of life or death scenarios
Decisions made by those who’ve been there

Here, Here. Certainly in Britain, Europe is still pulling our strings, and Europe is imploding.
Britain is on the brink of all out war on itself, brought about by poor leadership as you've pointed out.
Throw in AI, and we're all going to hell.
And here in the US we can’t see what is going on in Europe and apparently none of us can read a history book. Thank you for the read and comment
