How does nepotism affect politics. Is nepotism in politics there in your country? What is your opinion on it? Is it something desirable? How can we counter it, if is seriously bad? Do you think that it can hamper the way regions can develop?

I can't think of an example where nepotism is good (both in the business world or politics), you should be hired/appointed based on your skills. Unfortunately, it stems from the foundation of human interactions and I think it will never disappear. I guess you could technically make it disappear the day the entire society is run by an emotion/bias free entity (AGI?), but I'm not sure it's desirable either 😛.

I am not going to deny it, but in F1, nepotism has historically been somewhat successful (Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz (father was in motor sports) are fine examples). In the business world and the political world nepotism is a catastrophe, it does not allow natural talent to enter the stream and allows someone unworthy to take important positions. In India, this is a very serious problem, our second largest political party is the definition of nepotism.

My country is totally founded on nepotism. In the last 30 years, our goverments brought nothing, but taxes and troubles.

Berlusconi? Don't worry I have high hopes on Meloni and the far-right government.

Well the Bidens and the Bush family are prominent is your nation, let's hope the name Trump does not become like that, or the world economy and also USA's economy will suffer.
