I got a solution. Stop voting for party, vote for the people who represent the people.

Good idea. However, how can you do that since there are two majore parties that pretty much are supported by most of the people.

Here is where I notice that people all over seem to complain about polticians and poltical parties and yet they keep voting for the same parties and political leaders.

It seems that people let us say their prefered leaders is found doing something wrong, they still vote for him. Another one is that people seem to have this thing that they may complaon all day long about dirty politics but it is not their own representative, take care.

And I do tend to be liberal, but I've voted for conservatives before.

Having removed myself from any political "Party" was quite honestly the most liberating and enlightening political move I have ever made. When you get to the point where you are not defending party's, you suddenly find how hypocritical and dubious they both are. Concepts like principles, ethics, and just plain decency are nearly wholly absent in the face of greed, self interest, and bitter petty partisanship.

Oddly enough, it remains so difficult to point out to people that the argument is more vertical, such as People v Government, than the horizontal Left v Right. End up doing back flips instead of running around in circles.
