    No, you’re just wrong. Most politicians are of average intelligence or above. Do you have any sort of source which indicates otherwise? What would drive you to this? The argument that politicians are bad because they have an intellectual disability is extremely ableist.

      It’s not ablism to suggest someone might not have the mental capacity to do a job.

      I thought it would be obvious just looking at the shallowness of their reasoning. Also, an evil genius would at least act in their own interests, whereas the Tories have been pretty self-destructive.
