15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
Although Proverbs is a book about Wisdom, it talks a lot about "the fool". Sometimes it's easier to understand what something is not, than what it actually is. The righteous admit their own unrighteousness, they are also willing to heed suggestions from reliable sources. This is a good measure of wisdom for politicians. Often our biggest enemy is our mind, which does not always notice it's flaws. A trustworthy community can be the best form of checks and balances.
