It seems to me that, though biochemistry may drive people to seek power, it does not necessarily correlate with intelligence, morality, empathy, creativity or communication skills; all things we may prefer in a politician. It reminds me of the old jokes:
"... it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."
Douglas Adams.
“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.”
Napoleon Bonaparte.
