Instead of wasting time and effort discussing corrupt politics of today, how about discussing the future of politics and what it could be?
Politics of Today
The politics of today consists of an elite few running the Country for their own advantage often to the detriment of we the people.
It consists of an elite few who take the majority of the wealth whilst we the people have to fight for every penny.
The politics of today consists of a vote every five years, with politicians then scoring political points with their opposing party, with all parties acting in their own self interest in detriment to the Country and to we the people.
And they have the audacity to call this kind of Governance, Democracy
Politics of the future
The Politics of the future, should consist of an ongoing vote for we the people who set the mandate for our governance and the politicians are there just to act on the will of the people.
A true Democracy where we the people get to vote on every important issue that affects our lives, both locally and nationally.
Technology now allows everyone access to the internet and through other media and the internet, we the people would be aware of any decisions to be made on our behalf and have the opportunity to vote for or against that decision.
All of us would become politicians and all of us would have a say in the running of the Country.
No doubt, handing power to people will at first bring about some unique problems, but over time when everyone finds that working towards a better future for everyone is so much better than trying to take advantage for short term gain, which would in a true Democracy be ultimately self defeating.
Politicians at all levels would be just one of we the people representing the wishes of the people, there would be no parties controlling things for the benefit of themselves and their followers and pushing through policies that are detrimental to we the people.
True Democracy governance by the people for the people
It is time for a bloodless revolution, time to rid ourselves of the party system of politics all of whom claim to work for the people. History shows this claim to be a lie.
Anyone can be the catalyst for change, talk to your friends and workmates and see if they think they could run the Country better than the politicians. I think the answer will be a resounding YES.
It is time our politicians really represented the wishes of the people, true Democracy is our right it is now time to fight for that right, do not vote for the career politicians or the party politicians, if there is no one else available then put yourself forward and join with like thinking people.
