My government doesn't seem to be listening to me, did you have yours professionally trained or something?

You just need to donate to the ruling party or pay for the lunch and then you're good.

It's rather simple really; the secret is money.

Only then can you tame a politician.

One no more tames a politician than one tames a dog. When you stop feeding either their slab of meat, you become their next meal.

The fact that it's not listening to you does not mean it's not listening to anyone.

Our MPs are listening to the faith-based organizations bankrolled by American interests. They are listening to the Catholic Church, the Church of England, and their equivalents in the other faiths (they all condemn "vice"). They are listening to anti-porn organizations. They are listening to "think of the children" groups. They are listening to Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch. They are listening to Mumsnet. They are listening to censorship-enabling companies. They are listening to anyone with money and an interest in defining power structures to further entrench themselves.

They are listening, just not to the apathetic, individualistic know-it-alls who don't engage in politics and then complain that it's all shit.
