I don't think that the answer is pay and work conditions. Plenty of great people go into low paying professions because they feel a calling.
No, IMO, the problem is that politics draws those seeking power, or worse those amoral people willing to use power as their donors direct.
To me, we need more democracy - spreading power more broadly - more roles through sortition - and a hard stop on money in politics. That's my dream.
