Power is most attractive to the people who should not have it, dark triad darkness, cluster b personalities, mood disorders, etc, who are most well equipped to acquire, keep, and expand it.
Power does not create evil people, it draws evil people in, and evil people are the ones who have the psychological traits that make getting, keeping, and expending power most accessible to them.
Don't get me wrong, 99% of the time those attracted to power are exactly the kind of cunts who you don't want in power. Its one of the reasons im a kill-hard supporter of constitutional Monarchies.
But i'm telling you, absolute power really does corrupt absolutely. Thus is not just because of the long term psychological effects of never actually HAVING to consider other peoples opinions, but also due to the way your absolute power affects those around you.
they've done studies on this shit even, including the famous, and now completely banned "prisoner - guard" experiment.
thats not to say that long term absolute power will necessarily turn you into a megamoniacal cunt of da highest orda, but its 100% going to change you for the worse, in some way.
