I'm not particularly interested in seeing a high degree of
intelligence in our politicians, but I would dearly love to see some
wisdom.

But, according to Albert Einstein, “The attempt to combine wisdom and
power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short
while”. Haven't seen much evidence to dispute that quote.
