Inspired by Flecco's post, would anyone consider actually running for an electable position in your own government now or in the future?

If not, why not?

Nope, I find politics way, way too boring to ever take up a job in it, and everyone hates you if you become one.

No, I want things the way I want them obviously, but I don't want and don't think I should have to spend my life to get those goals.

Where's the "you maggots will push the role of a politician upon me in light of my superiority, at which time I will graciously accept" option?

No. If I wanted millions of videos about me over the internet, Billions of people to absolutely hate me, lies published in the news about me every week and to age at a massive rate then I might consider it.

I doubt your voter base could be attracted to a head so inflated.

You clearly missed the part where there is public outcry for my election. The election will really be little more than a formality, I imagine I will take over maybe six months or a year before the last guy's term ends, you know learn the ropes.

obvious typos are obvious

Men of my caliber aren't paid to type, we're paid to think.
