'Or maybe a kind of Social Darwinism is good: those with recorded "youthful indiscretions" are disqualified from the get-go.'
Unfortunately this could lead to a preponderance of wimps and wowsers in our governments. Not to mention the "secret evildoers". Remember the indiscretions needn't necessarily be illegal or antisocial, just unpalatable to some voters.
I doubt that there'd be enough good leaders left after this sort of winnowing!
