We need better safeguards against the mentally ill taking and holding power in our countries.
These types of mental illness (addiction to power, money, status) naturally lead towards positions of power. If we don’t actively prevent it from happening, we will always be controlled by malignant megalomaniacs.
Bring back sortition.

These positions are pursued by these kinds of people specifically because they reward those kinds of behaviours. I’d even argue it’s required to seek power, money, and status in order to climb the political ladder.
