Young people you think would be great future leaders (can be any country) (cannot be yourself)

I don’t really know, but I do know my brain knows more than either of this year's American candidates.

Also, my brain is not the same person as I am. That link was disconnected a long time ago.

Why so certain? She is young, as of now, only 21.

Not measuring what use we made of them."

Anyway. A clever youth, doesn't mean they grow to continue to be clever. People change over time. Improve/degrade, everyone changes.
When you choose a leader. Choose them for a period of time. And then revaluate you choice when the time is up.
Maybe someone more capable comes along, for the task laying ahead.
Not all leaders are a man for all seasons.

I, personally, am tired of politicians with a masters in social or political science, with no actual work experience.
Most have been groomed for a political position since they were young.
Most often, they come from a family of politicians.

This is not uncommon. Often children follows in their parents footsteps. But when generations of politicians comes from the same family, they often looses touch with the people they are supposed to serve.
What sounds right in theory, is often not implemented correctly in practice.

Being a good/efficient politician, is not the same as being a benign/capable leader.
Thunberg is not clever. She is manipulated by her parents. Her five minutes of fame is over. She is a pain in the bum.
I would say our so called 'leaders' should be people who don't want to be leaders, that's who I would have more faith in. :).
