The degree of self-esteem required to think the one could actually make a difference to society borders on pathologic.
Nevertheless, I suppose some narcissists may still be motivated by a desire to improve the lot of his or her fellow man or woman. (But probably not.)
The motivation for our current prime minister is puzzling, and not many of the possible motivations are flattering in a man who egregiously displays his commitment to the weird tenets of the Hillsong Church of Prosperity, an organisation that believes the "End Times" are imminent, and that only true believers, such as himself, will be "beamed up".
The majority of the politically conservative Liberal Party parliamentary members are male (104:47) and a significant number of these males are ex-private school boys (including notorious ladies' bums photographer, harrasser of women and Church of England Grammar School alumnus, Andrew Laming MP), their formative adolescent years being spent in an all-male environment which reinforced their sense of inherent male superiority, and also their attitudes toward women and their commodification.
The rape of a female staffer in Parliament House should come as no surprise to anyone.
