Optimistically, having a person like the one you describe in the question at the end of your post, doesn't sound like too bad a situation. However, I don't know that even this person would be able to avoid the all to common temptation to abuse the power they would attain as a "ruler." I'm sure that at first the truths they wish to share with others would indeed enlighten the masses, but how long will the truth really be the truth? Anyone in a position of power, especially ruling power, has the opportunity to say what they want and have their followers believe it; especially if that person is telling the truth during the beginning of their rein. Often times, they will not even be questioned, how does one resist taking advantage of this? I do not believe that even the most moral of person could, without difficulty, stay away from abusing their power.
