Because we are too lazy and apathetic to engage with the political process ourselves. I would favour a system whereby people were co-opted to serve as officials and given charge and responsibility rather as jurors are as at present to pronounce verdict on important trials which consequences affect our lives equally. I would say that those who seek power are probably the least enabled to dispose and distribute it effectively or fairly.
