How active are you politically?

As for myself, I work for a bunch of environmental and animal rights groups and I talk politics on online forums, on facebook (which I'm not entirely sure why I still have...) and IRL.
I can't be in a party because I hate making compromises, and I change my mind about some things too frequently.
I'll definitely never run for office.

I worked in a eh.... very much political environment for 11 months, but it's a tough business... People aren't kind to each other and you can't trust anyone. I think there was only one person there I felt I could trust completely.. perhaps because I had a crush on her lol. :mrgreen:

I might get engaged again someday but nowadays I'm pretty passive. Watching party congresses happening right now and the accompanying anonymous mudslinging and gossip on social media, I feel relieved I'm not running for office. When money and power is involved (that goes for civil servant jobs as well) it doesn't really take out the best in people. :roll:

Just yesterday I had to sit through a 12 hour conference of the social democrats, exhausting to say the least.
"It looked like a silly semi-cliquey thing between a few players to me. Following around a troll called Mbites like he was some sort of god... which wouldn't have mattered so much in the scale of things, except one of them was a Mod."
