I don' t affiliate with ANY party - because all a party is, is a label a politician sticks after their name to trick the public into voting for them.
It' s TOTALLY about politicians - as the public's perception that there is a difference between parties serves the politician not the public.
Sadly, I concur that the differences between the two parties are more superficial than folks like to admit. But I don't blame the politicians. I blame the people responsible for electing the politicians: the general population.
Now, I'm not saying the general population shouldn't be in charge of putting government officials in power. There is no better group than they.
I just wish they were more qualified (ie better educated) for the job. (It is a rather important job, after all.)
See the thread about overeducation to see why the free market will not allow a more qualified general population. That's a catch 22 if I ever saw one. Have fun complaining about "those shitty politicians" because I can only see one way to fix that problem. And it ain't gonna be fixed by the looks of things.
