To hold public office. It is no surprise to me that a country full of dick wavers would do so when they are placed in public office. And, once they get there, they have to do that even more. You can see it in movies, but they are just a symptom of the rampant ego that has taken over this country. When you are programmed to believe that anything other than total domination is a loss... well... this is what you get.
