In the big picture of the future, how much will politics matter? (Poll Closed)

A lot. The messy political struggles for justice, equality, and opportunity always will be with us. 45%
Some, though not a lot. We should keep paying attention, but other developments matter just as much. 23%
Not at all. Politics is just a distraction. What really counts is science, technology, and economics. 22%
I’m not sure. 3%
Other 7%

Unfortunately, messy political struggles for injustice & inequality continue in tandem with political struggles for justice & equality.

Politics is important, especially today. What I see is a turning. In the past a politician can put himself ahead of the common people; cloaking his self-interest in secrecy. This is about to change into another reality for all.

The Internet has allowed the people to intrude in their anonymous lives. They won't be able to hide and the people will know and have a say in their perversities. I'd like to see what effect it will have on the politician's self-dealing?
