Politicians... : should minimum education be made compulsory ?

Many times I have heard people discussing that there should be some rule which lays down minimum qualification for politicians. What I fail to understand what they mean by qualification.. is it a degree which we get from school or colleges ? if that is so I will say a big NO to any of this type of process. I would like our MP's to be educated but more than that I would like them to be human. And I don't think having any degree makes us more human.

I would not like to ask many questions..just some very basic ones..

1) I have seen some accident cases on roads, hardly anyone passing by helps. And I haven't seen any of the so called educated peoples stop their cars and help them. If education can't teach us this, what use is it. And how many of us use education to EARN MONEY instead of EARNING HUMANITY. And if that is the case, why do you want to make education the foremost criteria. Because we can't think ahead of this ! On the contrary I have seen some less educated peoples coming to the help of those. What a irony, they are uneducated and we are educated ! Or is it the other way !

2) Why do we make selection in helping the helpless.. this I have seen a lot of times and this again is a practice followed by the so called educated mass.

3) Politics require courage...some steps to take which isn't profitable always... which lacks in the so called educated mass.

4) How many of us (educated mass) have tried to give something worthful to the society..nowadays we feel hard to give to our blood relations, society is a long ask. Now please don't tell me you work for some NGO...give me a break .

Now you may say I am in support of politicians, well I only want to say, they are too from our society. They reflect what we are, they aren't any different from us !

And the next time when you try to glamorise education (which is concerned with getting marks only), think for a moment! It should be more than that...

.. I haven't made any statement above, but the trend is disturbing...

difficult to comment about occupants without context of the institution......
So the basic question is current state of Politicians is because of social reasons or structural reasons?
