  • In 2017, politics is a dirty word. Trust in politicians and government institutions is at an all-time low. Is there anything we can do about it? Newly elected Green MP, Chlöe Swarbrick, proposes it all boils down to trust and community.

    Her suggestions won't work because our systems of government are not intended to allow that to happen.
    This is all a blatant failure of the highly hierarchical representative system of governments and the abysmal representativeness of our voting systems used worldwide, and nothing more. That's why we are so cynical, not the other way around. Humans learn from the system, not the system from humans.
    Everyone is well aware of this fact in an intuitive way, but since most people think that's all what "democracy" and voting can viably be, we don't change it and we look elsewhere for solutions. The problem is the system, and we will likely never fix the system from within because it is self-preserving.
    An actual democracy with a legitimate voting system (say, STAR voting) wouldn't have these issues, because if many people truly are getting screwed by the system they could use the system to make their concerns relevant and fix things. A proper bottom-up distribution of executive power would guarantee that the distrust in the power of representatives would mean anything, and they would be kept in check. This is what fails today. There is no such bottom-up mechanism, and yet we all pretend that the pathetic excuse for "voting" we do on elections worldwide is somehow going to be enough, if only we all magically elected all the right candidates this time around after we patiently wait 4 years of non-representative politicians doing whatever they want with our "consent".
    However, the first reaction people have to this sort of statements is to think "actual democracy" means "completely direct democracy with majority rule", which couldn't be further from the truth. This is why we get people like Churchill saying that type of nonsense she mentions at the end, which is taken as a clever jab at how bad humans are at living together. This is simply false and shows how deeply cynical our civilization has become due to our ineffective social hierarchy, which we seem to put so much effort defending.
    Majority rule is partisan and authoritarian, and is fundamentally incompatible with the notion of democracy. But somehow, over the years, we came to believe they are one and the same. The only mathematical way to make every individual's voice count the same is by giving an equal weight to votes, and only a non-majority cardinal voting system can achieve that. This system is the only way to have elections that are based on consensus and not tyranny.
    In short, if you want a better government, you must necessarily give equal power to everyone. That is the only way to tie social cohesion and the wellbeing of everyone to our own, and make politics not a tool for oppression, but of agreement.

    I want to get involved in politics as a second career. I want to be ingrained in my local community and it's schools and its prisons and its cities and suburbs. I want to learn how to help people as an educator and as a private citizen, so I can help people mobilize on a larger front with that experience. I've always been a leader and problem solver, but I'm not so egotistical that I think I can have the answers out of nowhere. Numbers are valuable, but so are experiences with people. And I mean all kinds of people. You can't solve addiction with criminalization and you can't solve racism with hate returned in kind. You need to know why those things happen and look to change those systemic issues and to treat people's vices with compassion

  • @Barryislarge
    @Barryislarge 7 лет назад +3

    I'd sooner trust an old person who has retained consistent values, than a young person who doesn't have those years of conviction in their beliefs yet. Watching this solidifies my thoughts surrounding young politicians.

    • @msjkramey
      @msjkramey 7 лет назад +2

      I think that is fair to want experience, but denying that young people can impact the world in a positive and meaningful way is just foolish

    • @Barryislarge
      @Barryislarge 7 лет назад +3

      Positive and meaningful are subjective, and they change from person to person. Even within ones self those meanings can sway to polar opposites with age. We've seen this happen time and time again throughout history. Age either confirms consistent beliefs, or one grows and changes as they gain more world experience.

    • @627hjc
      @627hjc 7 лет назад +3

      Shes fantastic, her ages means very little when she has everyone's concerns at heart as well as the country and environment and global scale. Being older doesn't mean you have consistent values, if anything the older you are the more you have changed your mind so in essence you have accumulated more inconsistencies above anything else. You also retain traditions from an age bygone that do not represent the majority of the population any longer.
      You cannot be a politician and hold on to traditions from 'back in your day' and think they are proper and just to install on to everyone, young and old.

    • @Barryislarge
      @Barryislarge 7 лет назад +2

      There's a reason why they say older people are wiser. Young people think with their hearts. Older people have seen what that can do, and think with their heads.

      Interesting that you would say "Make NZ Great Again" like a Trump supporter, even though one of the main reasons that people voted for Trump was to be opposed to neoliberalism and problems like immigrants from countries with worse living standards and businesses taking jobs offshore, when that is closer to what the Greens and NZ First are doing, and you're still saying that even though Trump hasn't followed through..

      Cameron Hayes , Sir I ask you why fluffy? Would you say the same speech given by a male as fluffy? This is the mind set women have and are trying to change, women were not fluffy , when men were called to fight in ww2 and there was shortage of men to build the planes ,tanks and other weapons. Women were not fluffy The woman stepped up to build those planes ✈️ and tanks and took up the farming,to grow food for our heroes fighting to keep our nation free. ,! Yes woman can be fluffy ,but they are also tough when the need arises,ie child birth , ( not a fluffy time) caring for a family’s needs . Men and woman are strong , but we are are strongest when we work together.Think of the pioneers who carved a nation out of a wilderness, men and women working to gather,
