In some countries I believe that the set of people who runs political affairs are the old ones and is really worrisome, talking about age range 70yrs and above. Like in my country where I'm from these set of people (politicians) just feel they are the only ones fit to run the country and you find it hard to see someone between the age of 40yrs and above to rule as president or any higher position, is really outrageous and irritating. Why is greed speaking more in politics? Must every politician(s) think only about themselves other than the citizens?
I really don't blame most countries that engages in protest year in year out, nobody would be happy to have guys who ship in money into the development of their own businesses other than developing the country.
I am assuming you are younger. So why why not get involved in politics? You really can't complain of wrong people doing wrong politics if you are not doing anything. You can obviously vote for younger candinates, but you also can be a candinate. Politics only change by people changing it. If young people won't vote, there will be most likely old people in charge. As old people might not trust young and inexperienced politicians.
