That doesn't mean anything. I know of plenty of politicians that have important positions in many different organisations and not one of them could light a penny bunger with the electrical activity in what passes for a brain amongst any of them. Even having formal qualifications doesn't mean they're going to be anything out of the ordinary. Some are actually inveterate idiots, despite their education and experience. Yet, you do get some with a few brains and promise, but the system chews them up and spits them out, or they go all chummy and become part of the system themselves.
