Try to find something about corruption in politics, I think you`ll find some interesting news. :)) OR Government structure and agreement beetwen political parties - they`ve got troubles with understand eachother. Anyway, Could you specify what kind of revolution are you looking for? The biggest and known recent scandal is "Rywin Gate".

It's apparently taking a break until the 2008 presidential election... :-)\n\nI really wish I knew.  I'd like to blame the partisan climate in the US for it, but that would be too easy.  So much fear and uncertainty breeds the kind of behavior your question suggests.  Maybe THAT I can blame on those that make policy.

it grows bigger every day that the party of big business maintains the presidency of the US and the pm in thee UK. Once new leaders take office perhaps exposure may play a part in uniting the popel, as the gap wides to where the middle class is gone. However too many people are apathetic currently as they still have a job, but soon they'll all be out sourced to India and other places

not sure. but my guess is how society changes in respect to it's opinions on politics- as in more or less liberal/conservative. or how politics and world events may affect a society in general.

The current website of record for all things political is politics.msnbc.com They have formed a partnership with The National Review to produce an amazing site. For your state, I think they even break it down county by county.

It's really all politics. No matter how much you try to avoid it, politics plays a part in an office enviroment. It's who you know and how well you get along with them.

Older and serious people want to hear about politics. Younger people want to hear entertainment news. About me, I like hearing celebrity gossips and any info involving science & biology

Now your talking! A political renaissance is already underway. It will not be lead by the pundits or party leaders. Like most revolutions it will start in backyards, taverns and bedrooms. Welcome aboard!

it is very influential. You can tell in politics, specially republicans keep saying the same thing over and over. The next day people are saying the same thing. Take the John kerry voted for the 80 billion dollars before he voted against it. Republicans repeated that and people started to say it without asking what it meant

Post your question in a different category. This has nothing to do with "Politics", unless you are talking about Bill Clinton.

Of course government is politics!  They sort of go hand in hand.  And the answer to the original question is hypocrisy, and it has to do with money and power.  Unfortunately for the US citizens, the current administration is more focused on a personal agenda than what's good for the country or the world for that matter.  My hope is that all this will inspire people to get off their lazy butts and do something, like VOTE!  All the complaining in the world won't do a good if everybody is too lazy to take an active role in their civic duties.

I'm insanely interested in politics, but I've never aligned myself to one party or the other. The ideology behind politics is amazing to me, but to blindly follow ANYTHING in this world today is asinine to me.

No, not really.  What is politics?  It is how people organize themselves and put order into how they interact with each other.  The type of "national" politics you are thinking of is just that organization carried out in such a way as to bring order a large number of people.  You can't escape people wanting rules to govern how they interact with each other.\n\nPolitical parties are groupings of people who think the same way about the rules governing interaction and who want to take steps to change those rules.  Such groupings are not only inevitable but a good thing.
