Why Politics Matters.

My appreciation of politics was born from within the ruins of the ancient world, and lived experience.

  • The Ancient Greeks devised the concept of democracy.

  • The Romans created the design of three branches of government.

  • It was a gift bequeathed to us as a guidebook to civic life.

  • To understand power, governance, and political systems, we need to look back in Time.

  • Only then can we understand how crucial is the role we play within it.

  • Our ancestors knew this well.

  • So must we if a world worth knowing can be safely passed on to our descendants.
