Have you join any political party yet? Well for me, I haven't. There are many reasons why I haven't join any party yet. The main thing is that I can see that politicians are working for themselves. I can say it is a lie with the motto that they are there for the people. Everyday the working very hard to accumulating properties, money and so on for their own. Maybe some may say that I am not being realistic but hey these are my personal opinion from what I can see from my country. Yes they do help the people but the help that they render at the very first hand have been sure that they also will benefit from it.

No I have not joined a political party. I have never believed in the importance of political parties and frankly, I find politics to be a cruel, immoral, and faulty system that I could never find myself being a real part of.

Hi!
Frankly, I find it annoying that one must declare party affiliation in order to vote in primary elections, so I did. However, I've never voted for any reason connected in any way with political parties. I find out all I can about each candidate and issue, then vote for the ones I feel are right for the country...

It's all a game of "suck as much as you can". The little guys curry favours to the ones above and so on and somehow everybody's got everybody else with something, this way they can't denote each other. Corruption works like a pyramidal web, at least in my state.

I'm a political science major, but I'm not registering with a party. I see myself as a progessive liberal and I pretty much vote Democrat, although I won't rule out voting for a Republican. There's really no advantage for me registering with a political party.

I have no intention of joining political parties cuz I'm not that fit to lead. I mean, there are times when I only think about myself and no one else and that's not a good description of a leader. I'm better off as a follower.

Though my major was political science, I would never care to join a political party. I think political parties are pretty much all the same: they don't understand their society. Most political parties have leaders who have no contact with the local population. They are usually former lawyers or businessmen who act in the interest of corporations rather than people. Look at immigration for example: in most countries, immigration increases GDP therefore helps create jobs. But most politicians think that immigrants actually steal away local jobs, which is not true... ask immigrants who have advanced degrees but are not able to find jobs... bottom line is: politicians serve the interests of businesses, not of people.
