Practising writing (or Writing practice)

In general, I have never been interested in politics. However, I try to comply with my duties as a citizen.

I also consider myself (to be) neither left-wing, nor right-wing; my voting decision is based on what the different political parties offer me.

It's important to me that the a political party is/parties are committed to the population and to fulfilling(doing/carrying out) what they promised before coming to power.

Political parties should be fair and to guarantee the equal opportunities for all citizens.

In my opinion, the elected government should have a cleaner and more transparent policies, especially at the moment, due to the various scandals of corruption in Spain, which have made people is so fed up.

This issue creates to the political instability, which affects the political work and the actions that are carried out. So that the citizens should insist on (having) more control, and complain us when things are not going well.

I personally_think that in my country, the government should make a policy better and protect the most vulnerable, such as the elderly and poor. Therefore, the solution is not cut (back) on pensions and cut social resources, on the contrary, the government should encourage social policies to help people to improve their quality of life. I think this should be the grassroots politics of any political party.

I totally agree with your point of view! I am extremely disillusioned with politics as we know it today. There is absolutely no accountability. In my opinion, election manifestos such be legally binding agreements, which if not adhered to, should result in the expulsion of that party from government. There should be an independent body to verify this.

I also agree that politics is to distant from ordinary people. I believe that we should have genuine participatory democracy, that policies should be formed via electronic referendum, and that only experts in their respective fields should be allowed to decide policy e.g. doctors running healthcare, teachers running education etc. The age of 'career politicians' must end! They have no legitimacy! Corruption is endemic across the world, as a result of lobbying, cronyism and corporate interests. Politicians are mostly demagogues, and do not really seek to improve people's quality of lives, but rather deceive and manipulate people, to further their own careers and line their own pockets (enrich themselves). This is mainly achieved by keeping populations ill-informed and distracted by irrelevant and meaningless propaganda.

I think that we should ignore national politics as much as possible and seek to improve our lives through supporting local community initiatives.

I agree that public services must be protected, and this should be funded through effective taxation on international corporations, financial speculation, and through the removal of irrelevant and costly institutions such as the monarchy.

I think that governments should invest in a whole-scale local green revolution, to create jobs and allow people to heat and power their homes for free.
