Do you like politics?

[Landon]

Most of the time the government just do whatever they want to do anyway despite us having freedom of speech.

That all goes back to us. We elect our leaders - mayors, governors, president, etc. The president here appoints who he/she feels necessary to assistant him. It was our fault for electing him/her, so there's not much we can do to complain about the reality of his decisions when we put him/her in office.

I like to read about politics, but actually discussing it isn't something I enjoy because I feel like whoever I'm discussing it with is getting angry at me for having different views - I think if people could be open to the possibility of changing their own opinions about politics and didn't resort to personal attacks, I would enjoy it a lot more.

I don't, I find it to be boring and sometimes hard to understand which makes it unappealing to me. I know I should care more, especially when it comes to the country and rights, etc. but it's just hard to enjoy something I don't always fully understand.

I'm interested in politics, but I'm sick of all these politicians who quibble and pussyfoot around. Some debates in the House of Commons are articulated worse than schoolyard dissension, and some politicians push their own agenda more so than the desires of the people they're supposed to represent. Our political systems all too often feel tremendously dishonest and broken.

I've never really been interested in politics at all. find it boring.

I think to have an interest in the world around you it is unavoidable. Politics is in history, identity, religion right down to architecture. My knowledge of history and the political side of it as to why things are help explain a lot, just the past few days walking around Saigon in Vietnam I can easily put two and two together whether it's the buildings or the regime there because of politics. It furnishes your mind - without I would just be a nodding tourist being told random historical/cultural facts I can't put together properly rendering them meaningless. Politics knits it all together like a stream joining a delta.

What I am not keen on is party politics. The major issue I cared about was until recently only articulated by one political party, so I joined it and was active due to that. Nowadays though, I am much more relaxed given I have achieved my main political goal and my interest is more in the constitutional and historical side of things than the electoral or party side.

House of Lords is much better. I rarely watch the lower house, more the upper house. Quality x100

I wouldn't say I like or enjoy politics, but I try my best to follow what's going on and have a basic understanding of current affairs.
