I don't think it was a good choice. I think the government need Amity too. They also are equally capable for running the government.

think that the fact that they are selfless is a good thing. On the other hand, the fact that they are not always honest, courageous, seeking knowledge, or peaceful could definitely cause problems.

It's a good thing for a leader to be selfless but that is not all of the qualities that leaders in government should possess. Leaders need to be selfless, intelligent, be brave, and honest. leaders should be well rounded and be smart enough to make decisions that make the bigger picture better, not just small pieces.
