Politics itself is merely deciding who will govern. Governing is essential to any society’s survival, let alone thriving. As long as there are people grouped together, there will be governance, and it will always be flawed. Nevertheless, politics is important because if people don’t choose their representation, it will be forced upon them. It’s important because there are those who only want to benefit the rich and powerful, and if people don’t get involved to oppose them (ie., get involved in politics) then we will continue to have .1% of the population controlling 90% of the wealth and power.
