Being an immigrant and not allowed to vote, it is not fair to claim I’m responsible for the political class.
Also public opinion rarely results in policy. Most Americans for example favor spending on green infrastructure to tackle the climate crisis, most Americans favor a more universal health care system, etc. yet the political class is hesitant.
- lmilcin 5y agoBeing an immigrant you are in a special position. In most countries people do have power to change things, if enough of them want to. There are some exceptions like China or various regimes. But even Chinese Communist Party is very scared to allow their population to exchange knowledge freely, for fear they can just coordinate and decide together.
