Elucidating Questions

How have your political views changed over time?

I used to think I was a liberal until I realised how right wing the liberal parties are

And then I thought I was New Democratic but they appear to be a party of do absolutely nothing

And I could be Green probably maybe

Except there’s corruption in all levels of all parties in the government

So I’m really nothing

And you’d think I was a communist if I didn’t disagree vehemently against owning nothing

I just believe people should be taken care of

We’re in a world, in a society, where that bare minimum should be met

We are at a level of technology and streamlining and connectivity

And our services for disabled people and people in need of income assistance are still living in the dark ages

Unheard of wealth

Yet more unheard of poverty

Billions tied up in fictitious number games

Companies and government alike bending over backwards to accommodate whatever they wish

Record profits that none of the people at the bottom see

Some higher up manager boasting about going to Hawaii in a few weeks

While I can’t afford clothes

It’s so wrong whatever this thing that we’ve built is

How am I to align with a political party when all of them want to maintain this broken system so that their pay cheque is safe?

They say things like they’re passionate about leadership

What they’re passionate about is the money in their bank and their holidays and their benefits.

No one is going to lead wisely in a system that is broken when fixing it could cost them their cushy numbers

I don’t think I have a political view now

All I want is human rights, and for every person to be able eat when they’re hungry, and sleep in a warm bed when they’re tired.
