Qualifications

Question for examination:

People say all of the time that Politician X is more qualified to hold Elected Office Y than Politician Z. Or that because of a Reason X, Politician Z is not qualified to hold Elected Office Y.

What do people expect those they elect to office to be? What set of qualities/experience/etc. should a person have in order for one to deem them "qualified" for an office?

And then more importantly, why don't the people demand that there be candidates reflective of those qualifications rather, than voting for the lesser of evils or letting candidates define what their expectaions should be?

One of those moments I really wish we had a vibrant following and comments section, like TNC.
