How comes you bring sports people in parliament or local governments ?

I did not bring people to the parliament (of course I wish). All deputies are elected by people according to democratic laws of our country. Therefore you can see a lot of famous representatives like actors, athletes, singers but not the smartest representatives. Because when there are two person in the voting bulletin: smart one and famous one then people definitely will vote for the famous one. That is a price of democracy.
