I once read a book by Michael Bentine (British comedian - Goon Show - now dead, sadly). He made the point rather well.
"When there is a road accident and the ambulance arrives everyone shouts hooray, here comes the paramedic. When a water pipe bursts everyone shouts hooray the plumber is here. No-one ever shouts hooray the politician has arrived."
Politics - a necessary evil or a way of employing the unemployable - take your pick.
