Existing Governing Roles
Governing roles in New Zealand society are broadly classified into three powers: Parliament, Executive, and Judiciary: That is, making law, implementing law, and enforcing law.
Parliament
Purpose: The purpose of Parliament is to propose legislation and vote on proposed legislation. The decisions made by Ministers in Parliament form legislation which trumps all other decisions by any other governing roles.
Selection: Ministers are elected from the pool of politicians by voters in a democratic election and also appointed from group lists according to the group vote.
Executive
Purpose: The purpose of the Executive is to administrate New Zealand subject to legislation.
Selection: The Public Service Commissioner appoints the chief executives of the public service departments. The Public Service Commissioner is appointed by the governor general. The governor general is selected by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Judiciary
Purpose: The purpose of the Judiciary is to hear and decide on conflicts between disputants before the courts subject to legislation and common law. Judges decide conflicts sometimes with assistance from juries. Lawyers and attorneys represent clients before the courts.
Selection: Judges are selected from the pool of lawyers by the governor general acting on the advice of the attorney general, except for the Chief Justice who is selected on the advice of the Prime Minister. The attorney general is a sitting Minister of Parliament. Juries are selected at random from permanent residents and citizens.​

Personality Characteristics and the existing governing roles
-
If the governing roles are structured so that people with complementary personality characteristics (for example, no empathy, no remorse, no respect for the boundaries of other people, an excessive sense of entitlement, etc) are well adapted to succeed long term in those governing roles, then the people working in those governing roles are more than likely to have complementary personality characteristics. If the people with complementary personality characteristics working in those governing roles form mutually beneficial relationships with each other, then it follows by definition that the decisions they make are less than likely to lead to the biggest benefit for all people everywhere.
-
The Biggest Benefit Group does not provide nor solicit rational, abstract or methodical reasoning or arguments leading to why any given specific characteristic that is not the biggest benefit for all people everywhere is present in a society at a given point in time. For example, the rational, abstract or methodical reasoning or arguments leading to why governing roles are structured in the way they are presently structured. If a plan is not implemented to manage the cause, then remedying one characteristic in a society that is not the biggest benefit for all people everywhere will never stop others from always arising.
-
It is true and clear that all complementary personality characteristics make a person well adapted to succeed in the role of politician long term. For example, a politician seeking to be elected to Minister with the intention of both proposing and voting on proposed legislation (both after being elected) is an excessive sense of entitlement; manipulation, dishonesty and deceit make a politician well adapted to gain election to Minister; no respect nor appreciation for the boundaries of other people make a politician well adapted to work long term in a political group with other politicians; an expectation of an excessive amount of admiration make a politician well adapted to succeed in the role of politician.
-
It is true and clear that all complementary personality characteristics make a lawyer or attorney well adapted to succeed in the roles of lawyer or attorney.
-
Although complementary personality char​acteristics make a person well adapted to succeed in the existing governing roles, it is not implied that all governors have complementary personality characteristics.
