comment that we live in times of economic crisis, but above all a political crisis. Everyone seems to know what you are talking about: we live in first person, second and maybe third. You can see on television that the economy does not start and that the political class is steeped in corruption, leaving so many defenseless citizens. However, to me I think it is a reality that we see: one in which we have to justify, one in which, as part of something, just present ourselves as victims, without taking into account that we must take some responsibility.
The results of the last European elections left some facts to emphasize, in my city, people of my "generation" (say age group between 25 and 34) failed to vote. The ratio was 1 in 12 voters counted and explanations were of the most varied: that if there was political disenchantment, that if elections were not important, that if there was no charismatic candidate, etc ... I wonder why people over 50 years, especially those over 65 years, however it does go to the polls in greater measure. I believe there are more disenchanted, politically speaking, that many of these voters, who were years with great enthusiasm the arrival of democracy, the government saw the arrival of a popular left-wing president Felipe González as believed in a less PP bad with a modern and young and then have seen what they have seen, I do not think they know further the importance of the European Union (mostly by the educational profile of this sector of the population) not young; And Moreover, some people do can claim to have known and charismatic politicians that the new batch of less popularity has not discouraged to vote. So, why older people participate electorally more respect than younger people? "For they know what it cost to get it" - say the vast majority of people I know sixties. After the case Gurtel and Operation Pretoria, the political establishment is becoming evident. Voices have appeared (in print too many for my taste) commenting that "this is the explanation of political disenchantment "or" and political abstention is warranted ", which I think is the most immature to face reality. The solution is" no vote ". How easy it is. In this way, when you can come a process of political regeneration result of the scandals, there are those who justify it, rather than step forward and find a way to debug and improve the system, it is best "erased" because it is the best way for the class Policy "learn." I do not know, I have the feeling that many things happen and not be because too many people look the other way. So prove that "look On the other hand is intelligent because he knew that would happen, "leads me to ask: What did you do to help?. I say this because there are corrupt because they are corrupt. And the corrupt do not live in a monastery: they usually have families and people around you who can add 2 +2.
I find it funny that there are people who consider themselves "apolitical." As in some religions consider atheism almost an eccentricity of Christianity itself, arguably the apolitical eccentricity is allowed for democracy liberal (in dictatorships or tyrannies, is not considered an option nor a luxury). Being apolitical is that you can not stop being "subject of the kingdom" (in Spain's case) or be exempt from paying taxes or to violate the laws, live in absolute solitude, etc. That is, it matters little whether you like it or not politics: it rules your life and take it as you take it, are part of the system. In a participatory system (although it is not what you want), have the possibility to take an active part of it. So, who does not want to be part of that megasistema making decisions that affect us all and to a greater or lesser extent, are connected together, some may stay without doing anything ... but must meet the if we assume that must be part. Blaming politics, especially in a democracy, for all our ills is an unconscious way to criticize yourself as part of it. The passive role does not exempt of political responsibility, although it is small.
often said that "we have the leaders we deserve (the governed)." In the political context in which we operate is true. During childhood, spent a period of years in which ignores many things and it can be argued immaturity ... until it reaches a certain age. Thereafter, as are legally responsible. Will we continue crying like babies, criticizing the teachers Smarty mania for having us, blame our parents for not having taught her well ... or assume one day of age?.
