The people and political preferences.

Truth be known, no political party has the people's best interests at heart. When it comes to general elections/local elections etc. They just try to paint a pretty picture just to get your vote. Don't be fooled. ALL politicians are corrupt, some may have some more favourable policies and ideas, but when it boils down to it, most are in it for their own gains.

So don't get hung up on one party, thinking they're going to make a difference or change things for the good.
It won't, they won't. An interest in politics is one thing, an obsessive outlook (posting about it continually) is boring and unhealthy.

The reality is.....
The most vulnerable within society are at the bottom of their priorities.
Minority groups, aren't a priority either.
The wealthy/Elite are what matters to the government.

Money is what motivates them.

The rest of us have to sit and watch, while those with power destroy the world.

I'm going to disagree - but just a little

I'm going to say that some of them might just have good intentions but they either get their eyes opened and quit

or they go along to get along until they become absorbed

@Pretzel Yes possibly. Probably bought into the corrupt way of thinking 🤔

@Lanie78 I think that in the US the Congressmen get to keep the money in their reelection accounts - "money for nothin'"

they way the US system was originally SUPPOSED to work was the gentlemen farmers were supposed to go for a term or two and then go home forever.

the first president refused to run for a third term and set the standard for decades. (then it became a law that you could only have two terms)

no such limitation for the congress or senate though

@Pretzel The UK is the same in the fact the politicians are paid shit loads of money for doing fuck all really. £83 K a year plus expenses and they usually have second jobs to. It's disgusting when many are literally scraping pennies together to buy a loaf of bread 😡
