Cât de bine este ca silvicultorii să facă politică?

[...]a question really makes sense because in the last almost three decades, Romanian foresters have been complaining about forestry politicizing in the sense that forest resources and forestry staff have been used by ruling parties as electoral means, without any concern for forest sustainability. The argument that some professional groups shall keep away from making policy is logically dismantled by the fact that conceiving public policies implies a lot of technicalities that cannot be grasp without having a deeper understanding of what is going in different sectoral economies. Keeping some professionals, like physicians, foresters and militaries out of the political parties is not good at all for these domains (supposedly public policies) because all technical provisions will have been produced or amended by non-processionals. Especially the parties based on the neo-liberal doctrine shall be heavily packed with foresters for the simple reason that liberal politicians, in general, are prone to disregard the positive externalities produced by forests.
