Politics should be everyone's business.
People who tend to stay away from politics have no idea what they're doing to themselves and their country. It is through politics that every law and policy in the country is passed.
No matter how you are, the outcome of politics affects you.
During elections, some people say they're not interested in any the elections but they don't know that it is through that election that the people who will rule them be selected. Whatever that person does affects everybody in the country. The policies won't only affect people that voted.
Because I don't want to wasting my time.

Everyone will pick the best from the best, right? so whoever the winner, people already pick the best person. Since majority of people already know the best candidate, I don't have to think about it anymore and even there are some policies that make me comfortable, I will find the way to get rid from it, not trust to the president/centralization.

Actually, the problem is that sometimes people do not actually pick up the best of the best to steer their country toward development and progress. The problem is that within politics, there are ideas and passions which fog the rational thinking of the masses, people are pushed towards voting for a candidate who has a clear history of corruption and failure within the economical development of the country, just because people are either brainwashed or threatened to comply with authority.

So, even though I understand why someone would feel like divorcing from politics, in reality the masses can be wrong or be deceived as well.  Sad
