Nature
Kakistocracy is government by the worst (least able or qualified) or most unscrupulous people.
Claim
There is a pressing case to rehabilitate the notion of kakistocracy, as stupidity in governance needs to be treated as a political problem; the term "kakistocracy" can best capture this problem.
