Look at the big lottery winners for the past few years, the ones who got pictures in the paper.

Ask yourself will they really be better than the current Governor/ President/ prime minster?

At the very least The process of getting elected does have some selection in it - for all its faults, a 2 year presidential campaign does at least weed out those who could not stand the pressure of the job itself.
