Awkward situation
The unelected technocrats are put in charge to clean up the mess that the elected officials made. The unelected technocrats have a freedom from having to campaign for the position, they can push through changes that might help while they are under the pressure to do something and dealing with opposing factions.
The problem with too many elected officials is their ambition is not matched by their abilities to solve problems important to the majority. It also points out a flaw in the constituents who vote on a gut level and not intelligently. I prefer democracy over technocracy but I would like to see technically proficient types be seen as leaders. I prefer intelligent statesmen over the partisan ones.
