Is politics relevant?

Some say the personal is the political. The idea is that our personal lives are very much affected by the political and economic environment we live in. But because we are preoccupied with our everyday life, we tend to overlook the influence of the environment as we manage the tasks in our daily life.

Or do you believe that politics is mostly irrelevant to your life? Do you desire to ignore that part of society because it is not important, or that you are almost completely powerless to change the greater power that is “out there”?

If given the chance to have an increase participation in civil/political affairs, would you participate, do you want to have more power to participate in the so called common good? Or do you just prefer to live a private life and pursue the ideal life?
