Politics

someone to blame for all these terrible issues we have globally, and

the governments seem to be the perfect people to pin it all on.

Although, it does gowithout saying that we have some foundation

to build our mistrust and displeasure with these politicians on. Like

politicians in past generations, today’s politicians believe if you

repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. They convince you

they’re sincere and compassionate by kissing babies and appearing

at charity events. Some would say they act a bit phoney from time

to time. As well as this, some politicians have become human

puppets. Every politician need money to campaign. It’s the source

of the money that creates puppet-masters and puppets. I don’t

have anything against puppets as such, I think “Sesame Street” is

great but when it comes to representing me in parliament, I’ll pass

on them.

The effects of such unsteady governments worldwide is

completely, and utterly, never-ending. Protests in all different

forms have begun arising with many countries proving their

discontent with their respective governments. Great Britain’s

referendum for leaving the

EU

ended in a highly controversial ‘yes’

vote, and as if the tension wasn’t already enough over there with a

48% ‘no’ and 52% ‘yes’ vote, many voters are said to have placed a ‘yes’

vote in a kinda ‘

’ way and to show their

displeasure with the current government but they didn’t actually

vote with the intention of leaving the

EU

. Over in Turkey, we have

the most overt form of protest against the government happening,

an attempted coup having occurred only about one week ago. It’s

clear that many countries are showing disapproval of their own

governments but in every form of protest we have witnessed, it

seems the non-revolting solution turns out much better.

Yes, we may be consumed in finding out the latest goss about Tay

Swift and Kimmy K’s beef or finding all the rare Pokèmons around

Melbourne, but it’s time that we pay attention to the root of all our

problems. After all, we can’t just build a wall and hope that it will fix

everything, and having Kanye for 2020 president isn’t quite the

solution either. So what’s the solution I hear you ask? Look, I really

have no idea, I’m not a politician you see. But what I do know, is

that we have to begin to tune into this. The outcomes of when you

stop trusting them are much worse than those when you do. We

have stop worrying about the efficiency of our politicians and
