    People want their politicians to be entertaining.

    More importantly they want their politicians to do things. Conservatives at least deliver on some of their promises (the evil ones, of course); liberals don’t have the decency to even try, because if they did they’d piss off their owners. Good policy is neither boring nor obtuse, because good policy helps people.

      Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply that boring, obtuse policy being the norm was a good aspiration, just that it was the norm at one time.
