There is no escaping, politics surround us, unavoidable, permeating every issue of importance. From the education of our children, the food we eat, car we drive, and countless decisions we make each day, politics play a role. Yet, most of us are unaware how our lives are governed by the men and women, belonging to the fraternity I will call, "the political class".
A definition would be a good place to start.
1 a : the art or science of government b : the art or science concerned with guiding or influencing governmental policy c : the art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government
Notice the word government is central within the definition, but equally important is another word found; control. For throughout history politics has served as a means to control, and allow those with this control to prosper.
There is no need to mention political parties or elected officials. Such labels are deliberately employed to make discussions on issues personal and combative, so whatever audience there is becomes distracted
and worse, deflated and disconnected from the discussion.
Future commentaries will include examples of how the public rarely learns the truth, and are led to believe those we elect on working are their behalf.
I will write about the role politics play on most decisions affecting our lives and how politics combined two of the greatest challenges citizens face, government control and greed.
