Most people want nothing to do with politics.
Who can blame them when you see the behaviour that plays out in Parliament and the sideshows outside of it?
But what people need to understand is that they can get involved in politics without having to deal with all the games.
You don't have to run for one of the big seats in Wellington to make a difference – to make a positive impact. All it takes is making a submission to a local district council.
It is a simple process and one that we all should get involved in.
