So what we need is a disruption from the inside. Rather than keep creating alternatives that do not survive 2 electioneering seasons, we must strategize to take over the mainstream parties.
The Reality of our political system is one we must not take for granted in causing change to happen. Until, we build a system that replaces the current status quo, more young people need to step up into Leadership positions.
Politics is about the numbers and it is obvious that our enlightened positions are not popular opinion as more of the electorates subscribe to the dictates of the deep pockets.
