They get into politics because they are obsessed with control.
We probably need a system were politicians are not actually in control. Then they might be some who doesn't get into it just because they want to mandate other people what they can or cannot do.
At this point, selecting random people off the street would result in a healthier democracy. Politicians have room to be dumb and evil, because they inherited money and social connections. A rando would have to be actually skilled if they want to obtain such things.
Introducing Athenian democracy: Place your name on a paper slip. Place that slip in a big bag. If your name gets pulled, congrats: You are now a politician for an allotted time. Also works with marble slips for extra flair.
Sortition.
