The ancient greeks knew that they wouldn't elect the best officials by voting, rather the most well spoken and popular people.
So they just threw dice, they elected people to office by lotto. Pure chance, about as good as democracy, and it prevents demagoguery a bit.

Discuss this cynical system. Were they right to do it? Is pure chance about as valid a way to elect politicians as a test of charm, like we do today?

The West has figured out a long time ago that the best way to govern is by splitting the power and let as many people as possible govern. You have a lot of reading to do.
