Join a Political Party.

A Politiacl Group
I want to recommend something to you. And I want to say this in absolute sincerity.
JOIN A POLITICAL PARTY.
I’m a member of the Greens. I’ve only been to a few meetings so far, unfortunately. However, those meetings told me more about politics than all the Newspapers I’ve ever read. Seeing the people, processes and thinking behind what happens in a country – and WHY, is one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever experienced.
Another reason that I would regard joining a political party to be such a valuable thing is that it makes you a part of the solution. What the solution (or even the problem) specifically is, will depend on your own personal views. But being a part of something fighting for positive change is a dramatically positive and liberating experience.
In a way you also politician-proof your mind. It’s like magic – once you know what the magicians tricks are, you won’t be fooled by his illusions. And once you see the magic of political games played out behind the scenes you will be more aware of the tricks than ever.
