Psychopaths have a tendency to climb to the top. They're often insecure and have a need for power and control and having no conscience/empathy will do anything to climb the greasy pole and get into positions of power. About 1% of the population are thought to be psychopaths. Amongst politicians that rises to 6%. That means statistically 36 MPs are likely to be psychopaths. And it appears most are in the current government. A staggering 25% of CEOs are thought to be psychopaths. That's why so many big corporations behave so appallingly. CAT scans on psychopaths show little activity in their frontal lobe, the part of the brain that control your conscience and Empathy. Basically a psychopath is the ultimate in selfishness. They only care about themselves. As long as they get what they want they don't care what harm their actions cause others.They view other people as: i) Those useful to them. They have no loyalty though, so once that person is no longer of use or becomes a liabilty they'll throw them under the bus without a second thought. ii) Those they can safely ignore/trample over. iii) Those they consider a threat/obstacle to getting what they want. Amongst the 20 personality traits listed on the psychopath test are: - A lack of empathy/conscience/morals. - A sense of superiority: Believing they are somehow better/cleverer than everyone else. - They don't believe the rules/law applies to them: Rules are for lesser people, getting away with breaking the law/cheating, etc just proves they're cleverer than everyone else in their eyes. - Superficial charm. i.e they'll turn on the charm to get what they want/dupe people, but it's only skin deep. - Conning and manipulative behaviour: They'll say anything to get what they want. - Pathological lying. - Never taking responsibilty for their actions. - Irresponsible: i.e. You can't trust them as they'll break promises, contracts, treaties, agreements, etc. - Poor control: i.e. they respond to criticism/not getting what they want with irritablity, anger, aggression, abuse, etc. (See Johnson at PMQs, etc or Trump's Twitter) - Promiscuous behaviour. - Extra marital affairs. Psychopaths only care for themselves so have no loyalty. (see Johnson) - Will often boast about how they got away with breaking the rules/law to show their superiority. e.g Trump boasting about if your famous you can just grab women by the pussy. Psychopaths are also easily bored and tend to have short attentions spans.e.g. Trump and Boris both being famous for not reading the briefings given to them and just winging it. They also have a tendency for risk taking. Not all leading Tories are full blown psychopaths. Some merely have serious personality disorders.😁 Unfortunately until Government Ministers, world leaders and CEOs are screened for serious personality disorders we will keep getting people like Boris, Cummings, Patel, Braverman, Rabb, Hunt, IDS, Willamson, etc, in positions of power. Not to mention world leaders like Trump, Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi, Bolsonairo, Orban, Erdogan. Modi, Morrison, etc.
