But how can you trust politicians who are only interested in political gains for themselves and their party and will do and say whatever scores them points to make decisions for the good of the country? While such bodies are unelected, they are chosen by elected politicians, so the process is not entirely undemocratic. Politicians would still be accountable, but they keep proving time and time again that we cannot trust them to make decisions that benefit the many even if at cost to the few.
