So...this is my first post. I've never created a blog before but i've done it in the vain hope that it inspires others like me to interact with politics in Norwich and the wider community. Theres too much cynicism in politics which doesn't resonate from individuals within politics but by the lack of engagement of citizens with politics.
I'm 23 and have always been interested in politics. I've never been in a political party as i don't feel that any one party represents my views but i respect those who do engage at that level. However interested you are in politics you shouldn't have to constantly chase the politicians. They should want to chase you! they should want to grab us, to talk to us and to find out our opinions on the saubjects that really matter.
This blog is a result of a lack of interaction in politics. The May elections are coming and i've only had one leaflet through my door - From Labour. None others. Where are the others? Do they not bother to print them in areas where they don't think they will win but are still standing a candidate? And the Labour candidate... commendable to post a leaflet more. More commendable would be for them to stop, see me staring at them through the kitchen window and stop and talk to me. Even if i disagreed or agreed with everything they said (Highly unlikely either way) then there would have been real interaction. A chimp can post a leaflet through a door.
