I was taking a walk around town the other day and I saw the current Member of Parliament out and about seeking re-election. It made me think about my whole view on politics. I have always voted for the same party, and, to the best of my knowledge, always will.

It isn’t because I agree with all their policies, most party’s policies change over the years. But I suppose I agree deep down with their ethos and principles. And as long as that is what their policies are based on I will continue to vote for them.

But, I would never join the party or become an activist for them. Is this due to some deep down generation x thing? Is it because I don’t agree with all their policies that I couldn’t toe the party line?

And.

Is it the same reason that drives me to state my religious affiliation as non-denominational on any forms I need to fill in?
