Howard-
I'm not sure they don't, so maybe a further refinement could be, why aren't experts becoming politicians?
I think we could find lots of evidence for it not being salary, btw. I also think that here the problem of career-politicians does come into play, and we might get towards an answer re: the gut-reactions people have expressed above.

Sort of.
It was why "we" (we being the people on here dismissing the idea) don't want experts.
(It was literally this: "What is it about running the country which we feel doesn't demand any such training or knowledge? That you can pop out of your own work on sabbatical and still be a success at it?")
