The post you are reporting:
#1 Brian is a bit like screwing-up the piece of paper you will write your question upon, before you write it.
Not too dissimilar to the children's 'fortune-telling' toy, (Made by folding a sheet of paper and the opening and closing the folds a certain number of times and lifting a flap) or the back page picture of "Mad Magazine". (you know what I mean?)
Let us imagine that once you have screwed-up the paper, then written your query, you then unfold it and the 'right' question emerges.
"Politics IS people, are you Politics?"
[I have said all of this before, and I never tire/shall never tire, of saying it]
A bit like the EU, I shall keep putting the question until you give the 'correct' response. (Tickle) [Tong-in-cheek/Kent-Loves-Explanations]
1-Register to vote, and determine within yourself that you shall vote, and vote for a positive outcome, and don't be shy about it: At the next General Election.
[there is a '2' and a '3']
BUT...
Step one is a real game-changer. I can imagine (in the wildest of my dreams) that this one basic change, this one alteration to the self-regard of the enfranchised population, will reap rich reward...instantly.
It is absolutely NECESSARY for Democracy to flourish that it be based at the individual level.
[Gentle Warning:I have more to say on this one subject than I have on any other.]
