Politics

I personally think that politics runs through the fiber of our daily life and it is behind many of the decisions we take whether we are aware of it or not. Sometimes for instance, we might not buy a certain product or go to a certain shop because the political view of the manufacturers or the owners goes against our beliefs or sometimes our politics.

Given how politics permeates different aspects of life, it is essential that people vote if they want to their concerns to be properly voiced and channel. If people just complain but don’t take an active role in shaping their country, then all their complaining is useless. Unfortunately, there’s a very small percentage of people who vote at the moment and lots of the people that whine and complain, they can’t be bothered to leave their houses on Sunday to vote.

In every democratic country, we see similar promises being made by candidates: more employment opportunities, strengthening of the economy, more public housing, free education…Well, you get the point. I honestly believe that if deep changes are made to the core of our educational system, those changes will also have a positive impact on other areas of life. By providing better quality education for instance, rather than just free education, unemployment could decrease because there would be more people who are prepared to do more specific jobs.

I have given the topic a lot of thought and I can think of different ways in which a thorough and deep reform would bring about dramatic changes but that discussion is best had over a glass of wine…
