Creeping psycosis at the top

Many nations forbid their leader to serve more than two terms. Britain is the exception but on the two occasions this has been attempted the PM was removed via internal party challengers because they were basically going slightly mad.

Power has a bad effect upon the most well balanced of people. This is because the leader tends to surround himself with yes men and so they become detached from reality. If this is true of the UK where the PM is criticised quite openly how much more true must it be in a cult?

Both LRH and DM actually started out as highly functional people. LRH was a prolific writer of tosh and even DM showed some leadership qualities at first. Unfortunately LRH died as a madman shot through with psychiatric drugs and DM seems to have developed a drink problem. DM's problems will only grow worse as time goes on but this is actually an organizational problem more than a personal one.
