What happens to a gerontocracy when leaders die off without having brought a new generation into the game?
The longer a politician remains in office, every goal other than power itself falls away, until nothing matters but maintaining that grip. The issues facing their constituencies cease to be meaningful to them. "The future? Not my problem. I won't be there."
Meanwhile, the next generation of leaders go stale waiting for an opportunity to lead that never comes. #politics #gerontocracy #age
