ARISTOTLE ON DEMOCRACY VS OLIGARCHY

“…it is thought democratic, for the offices to be assigned by lot, and oligarchic for them to be elected (by vote.)” – Aristotle

There is nothing much good from elected government that would not be better served by selection by lot.

I would much rather trust a random selection of citizens than I would any selection of any politicians.
