James Bond Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Even though I live abroad, I follow the politics of my country. Although I am not really happy about it, especially since it tends to concern more than just my country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I follow national politics. Newspapers in the Netherlands play along with the politics of theatrics that politicians adopted ten or so years ago, so there's very little in-depth information to go around, but I still try. Local politics I haven't had a reason to care about for years now. My county doesn't even house Syrian/Eritrean refugees so it's not like there's anything interesting happening, anyway.

Parrhesia Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Very well-informed at a national and international level, fairly limited at a local or even territory level. Aiming to learn about the actual guys I'll be voting on next election, not just the parties they represent. I just ignore politics altogether. It really isn't my strong suit. I'm better off just being my own person. :) Congratulations on your own person being unable to make an informed vote on the direction your nation should take.

Serpent of Sheol Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Very strongly at an international and national level, and less so at a local level, but I've been following some local politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Nepos Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Depends on just how you define "local" and "national." The Kingdom of the Netherlands is technically a federation, but then it's also kind of not, because of its strong unitary character. I don't follow municipal or provinical politics very much (I also switch between living in my parents' house on the weekends and a room I rent in the city where I go to college on weekdays, so I live in a different municipality and province half the time). I follow country politics pretty well, and I'd like to say the same for kingdom politics, but it's really hard to get any good info on that. I have little idea what even goes on on Aruba, Curaçao and Saint Martin. I'm a major constitutional law (and by extension, politics) geek though, so I always like following this stuff, and feel like I should be more engaged in it.

Alex95 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Congratulations on your own person being unable to make an informed vote on the direction your nation should take. Nah, I'm still informed. I just don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Nah, I'm still informed. I just don't really care. Look, no offense, but you're being confusing. You said you "ignored politics altogether." There really isn't a way to be informed on something while ignoring it altogether. EDIT-I guess if it's something static and unchanging, you could've learned about it at one point and then started ignoring it without beginning to become uninformed. But the political scenery does change. Edited January 13, 2016 by Sane Young Dog Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah, sorry. By "ignored," I meant "I didn't care." I am aware of most of the changes, yes, but I don't care too much for them. So far, none of it is effecting me, so therefore, I'm just ignoring it all. I know I am a confusing person, so I don't take offense to that. I'm just not very good with words most of the time. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
