Professionals or Politicians


'Most Ukrainians do not want politician for prime minister'

"Ukraine needs a professional premier, who will implement unpopular reforms, the Kyiv Gorshenin Institute of Management Issues said in comment on a recent poll.

The opinion is shared by the overwhelming majority of respondents (81.7%). Some 68.4% said that Ukraine needed such a prime minister for sure, and 13.3% said they were inclined to that opinion.

A total of 5.9% of the respondents said that Ukraine needed a politician for prime minister, who would be guided with voters' opinion and hold a populist policy for winning the next election."

This is an interesting finding - and you would probably get the same results if you asked Ukrainians about whether they want 'professionals' for MP or president.
The question then becomes why Ukrainians elect 'non-professional' politicians and why professionals don't become political candidates?
