Our true political needs

We all have different views, opinions, philosophies and economic interests to protect. This of course colors our political needs and when faced with two dominant parties, we can only find pieces in their program that will fit our needs. I'm not even talking about the fact that there can be a world of difference between what comes out of the mouth of politicians and what they truly believe and actually fight for. This said, this process of representation isn't working as the product offered to us is merely a gross approximation of our needs. In the consumer products that surrounds us, the match between what's available for us to purchase and our wants and needs has become, in recent times, much closer to our expectations.

Is there a way to get better political representation by forcing politicians to tailor their programs around our real desires instead of their party dogma? I think so, but to achieve that, we need to organize. It's terrible that Apple can create products we fell in love with and that exceed our expectation while the world's second oldest profession is woefully incapable of giving us something remotely closer to what we really need. To get started, try to build your own “program” the way you see it. I'll share mine in a coming blog...
