Politics And Politicians

Hi people, How are you? I hope you are fine.

For my first post, I want to write something about politics since we have just voted.

I realize that it’s more and more difficult for me to decide which politician I will vote. Any of them convince me. It’s a pity but I think that nowadays there isn’t any politician who fights for an ideal. There aren’t any ideals to fight. We live in a society that have all that we need: health service, food, education service, money to buy things that we want.

Our society is more and more in favour of consumerism because the market encourages us to consume constantly. And our socials values are changing too. Government or justice can do or change something that we don’t agree but we don’t protest for it, in fact, we don’t do anything, we only tend to observe. Maybe, few people do it, so they don’t have enough force for government takes them into account.

In France, people are always in the street, protesting for something, I think that they area a bit extremist but here, in Spain, we are the opposite. Hardly everything politicians do, is out of self-interest. They don’t think about the general interest of people.

I don’t understand why politicians don’t join together to resolve common interest problems like terrorism, violence, unemployment or immigration, independently of their politic ideology, right or left. I hope that, one day, this situation change. We will be aware that we aren’t any more in a dictatorship, we can rate and we can go in the street to express our disagreement with something and politicians listen to us and react about it.
