Recently at one of my toastmasters meetings, a toastmaster got up and shamelessly, if not proudly, announced his complete ignorance of politics. 'I don't care about politics because all politicians do is lie' is basically the gist of his philosophy, and many in the room nodded in agreement. Perhaps I am just a naive, idealistic student, but I've never really understood where this cynicism and sometimes outright hostility towards politics comes from. And it concerns me. Democracy is something people throughout history, around the world have literally died to achieve, yet many people in the most democratic societies are flippantly throwing their right to vote away. Why? So when my lecturer recommended 'Why we hate politics' I jumped at the opportunity.Finally would there be some answers to my peers disaffection with the political process? and just maybe an offered solution? Unfortunately 'Why we hate politics' was written by an academic, and so is presented as the most dense, dry way possible. And the sad thing is that 'Why we hate politics' is actually better than your average academic offering. This is terribly unfortunate given the importance of the question Hay poses, and the need for wider discussion about the role of politics in our society. Why is it that the most knowledgeable people in our culture show no interest in engaging with the rest of us? isn't that their purpose? I think I need to read a Stephen King novel to recover.
