Are narcissists more easily drawn into politics? A team of American researchers found that people who are self-confident, even believing they are better than others, take a more active part in the political process: they vote more, publicise their opinions more openly and find it easier to embrace a political career. Interviewed by The New York Times, lead researcher, Peter Hatemi, explains how this tendency could influence democracy: "If people who are more interested in their own personal gain take a greater part in elections, then we can expect candidates who emerge to reflect their desires – narcissism begets narcissism."
