I have given up on politics (rather, politicians). How about you?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) May 13th, 2012

Our government has fallen, some weeks ago, thus making the path free for all parties/politicians to start campaigning for the next elections (which will be held in four months).
After seeing members of the (fallen) government criticizing other party members/ministers/policies that were part of the government (this government consisted of two parties, with support of a third one), policies that they helped form themselves, I got sick of it.
This time for real.
I will still cast my vote, but I have decided to not follow the news about national politics as much as I did before (only the newspaper I will use), and whenever I see a talking head of one of those politicians I will zap him/her.
So, my question: Have you given up already on them?
If so, what age were you when that moment happened?
If not, can you see that moment occuring in the future?
I am in my forties.
