Its just like a softball game with a bunch of deadbeats where they swich sides after every inning. The parties barely change anything other than giving buddies contracts, the parties are so similar that any changes made are hardly noticeable in your life. Stelmach and his cronies like Swann does give us something to blame stuff on.

The things that affect your life are based on the following percentages:
- Your own life choices, like going to university, etc - 70%
- Randomness - 29.98%
- Politicians policies and rhetoric - 0.02%

People spend a disproportionate amount of time and blame on that last one.

Also, no offence to anyone arguing in this thread is taken hopefully, just blabbering.

Great post. I gave up caring about politics for the most part. I have come to conclusion that most politicians care more about themselves and their careers and salaries, than they do about me or my community. They wouldn't think twice about screwing people over to ensure their own job/financial security. I find it difficult to even get up and cast a ballot for those smarmy, sweater vest wearing elitists. Most politicians make contestants on Survivor look open and honest.
