Same goes for becoming a member in the board of directors at state-owned or partially state-owned companies. I find that to be very counterproductive.
Actually I know of an example that proved the opposite.... and it took only about 10-15 years of fight and the fact that no competing candidate was only remotely near the qualification of the said non party member.

There still happen signs and wonders
