Although I might agree with you, I don't want to change the sentence. On Tatoeba it looks like I translated the sentence from German, but the fact is that when I saw the German sentence, I searched the internet for the original. The German sentence now has the tag " translated quote" .

Thank you.
I note this is actually how Orson Welles said it. (in senate)

This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #3010353Beliebtheit sollte kein Maßstab für die Wahl von Politikern sein. Wenn es auf die Popularität ankäme, säßen Donald Duck und die Muppets längst im amerikanischen Senat..

Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
