Corrected that for you.....

Sadly it's a utopian ideal, those who seek to lead us are probably the least suitable for the job since they value the power that leadership brings far more than doing the "right thing".

The Open Society (and its Enemies)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_society

Soros argues that besides the requirements for the separation of powers, free speech, and free elections, we also need to make explicit a strong commitment to the pursuit of truth. "Politicians will respect, rather than manipulate, reality only if the public cares about the truth and punishes politicians when it catches them in deliberate deception."
