It's a nice idea, but that would be a million times worse. Politicians hardly have a monopoly on greed. Imagine some minimum wage shlub thrust into that position for two years. Sure, some people would be honest and do the right thing, but plenty would take the opportunity to line their pockets as much as possible. Power corrupts.
Not to mention, the better politicians at least have some kind of understanding of what's going on. Imagine someone with a high school education or less trying to even comprehend global politics, let alone make intelligent policy decisions. I am college educated and consider myself reasonably smart, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do a very good job of it. It would be like a whole government full of Michelle Bachmann and worse.
