What do you think of the idea of choosing leaders by lottery?

Asked by LostInParadise (31916points) November 2nd, 2020

I sometimes attend meetings given by a local discussion group. This is one of the topics that will be presented. The process is called sortition. Here is a link to short video that advocates it.

The main objection that I have is that being a politician is a legitimate profession requiring training and experience. Randomly selected people would not have the skills required to decide complex issues.
