"What needs to be done before this madness is addressed."
Start selecting a politician like you are pricing and comparing a house or car that you are going to buy. Spends some time, the same amount of time you spend on the car or the house.
If there's nothing available in your electorate organise a posse to railroad a good person into standing.
Voting for the wrong Politicians is a bigger financial mistake than buying the wrong house and paying the wrong price.
