Politics doesn’t care if you’re interested or not. You can stay out of it, but it still decides your taxes, your hospital, your kids’ school, and what kind of future you’re stuck with. Like that old quote says; your lack of interest doesn’t stop them. And Plato was right too: when good people stay away, the wrong ones end up in charge.
Look around Africa. In Nigeria only about 1 in 4 registered voters showed up in 2023. South Africa did better at around 59%. A lot of young people especially just don’t bother. Those empty ballots show up later as broken clinics and overcrowded classrooms.
You don’t have to love politics. But you can’t escape it either. Showing up is still the only real way to have a say. Let's make 2027 general elections experience a massive turnout ever.
