Since you're asking about "want", I want a well-informed and engaged
electorate who have sufficient courage to exercise their principles
(and not just at the ballot box)!

If it seems to you (as it does to me) that this is a long way from
reality, then it's probably worth noticing that all of these can be
learned/taught/nurtured just like fine craftsmanship in woodworking.
