On the other hand, if we could limit our politicians to people who both cared to understand and had the mental capacity to understand every single bill, that would make it a far, far better system of government. Good luck finding those people, though.
Maybe there's a realistic alternative to that: Having more politicians in power with a variety of backgrounds, who live in the real world amongst the general population and are more aware of people's needs - Instead of the majority of idiots currently in power who have had segregated upbringings and live privileged lifestyles, and are therefore completely out of touch with society. Then they'd hopefully have a better idea of what proposed bills would be damaging to society and which ones would be beneficial.

But then that'd be hard to ask for and difficult to enforce, like with a majority of ideas which may improve the status quo. And perhaps I'm being naive again considering that sourcing such people may be impossible - Those who enter politics with good intentions probaly either don't get very far, like a few people I know who have tried, or maybe they have to become malicious themselves just to play the politics "game" and compete with other politicians for serious positions of power.
