That is what I thought. It appears to be a process closed to a poor man. An honest question. Do you think that is the way it should be? or should your electoral process be altered to enable someone of more modest means to become president. In this country it is done a bit different. Its the same idea, a party elects a leader who becomes president or in our case Prime minister, but it is done through national convention without all the primary stuff & campaigning involved. Candidates simply declare themselves, a national convention date is set and registered party members or delegates representing them (depending on internal party rules which vary from party to party) simply vote. The leader automatically become prime Minister in a general election of that party garners the majority votes in that election. Most Prime Ministers are well off, but it is not a de facto prerequisite. Their success largely depends on their prior performance in parliament. |

Actually, government doesn't pay all that well, but cronyism does. |
