Right, left, vote them into office and it's the same big club. The drawback to politicians running the country is that they are too damn busy getting elected or re-elected to, well, run the country.
In every government in the world there is a dark room. In this room is a table wtih a cabled box and a folding chair. In the center of the box is a worn button. The button is labelled (for the newly elected), "AUTOPILOT". Press this button and the polity is taxed more, the government spends more, and somewhere another form is generated.
Socialist governments have a box with several buttons. The number of buttons pressed does not affect the increase in tax, but Socialists sit for hours on end pressing the buttons. They just like pressing the buttons.
