I believe we should be governed by scientists, CMV

Our leaders need to be able to deal with the ever increasing complexity of our technology, economy and society.  Therefore, I think, it should be mandatory that every politician goes through several years of education in undergraduate level mathematics (especially statistics, formal and informal logic, calculus), a technology/engineering related field, economics and ethics.  As a result prestige wouldn’t arise from origin, charisma and eloquence anymore, but from honesty and clear, intelligible logic.

You don't think people whose job is to make *laws* should study law? They have nothing to learn from history, a large part of which involves studying the successes and failures of past leaders? Or geography, an understanding of which is vital for knowledge of global politics? Or philosophy, which is the only way to determine what ultimate goals they should be aiming for, and what is right? Or political science so they fully understand the democratic process? Or sociology so they better understand the nature of society? Aren't all of these things more relevant for politicians than undergraduate mathematics and technology/engineering? (I agree with economics and ethics, but they're hardly standard subjects for "scientists")

Since the voters aren't getting any more educated, why would origin, charisma and eloquence stop mattering? Most famous scientists (at least of modern times - Dawkins, Sagan, Hawking, Feynman, Einstein etc.) were reasonably eloquent, and they weren't in a job where they literally *had to* persuade the public they were right about incredibly controversial subjects.
