Ryjedi, you missed Leadership by Focus Group as a failing 
characteristic of politicians. Fudge's refusal to remove dementors 
from Azkaban because the people won't stand for it is typical. 
Politicians let the public, as ignorant as they may be, lead them by 
the nose. Leaders convince a dubious public that their way is the 
correct way (which is what Dumbledore is now forced to do).
