>In a sane world you should expect that politics is just of minor relevancy to you, assuming it works properly.
So, *not* a democracy...
I honestly can't stand the "I don't care about politics" attitude. We live in countries where policy is determined by the will of the people and 90% of those people can't be arsed to pay minimal attention, let alone engage. If you don't like that, you deserve to be a slave.
And yes, policy *is* determined by the people. When you don't engage, your vote goes to whoever is the most willing to claim to speak for you. Their decisions are still *your* fault.
*This* is why democracies fail; there's nothing instrinsically wrong with them, but they will *always* fall apart without good people working towards the good of the nation.
