Politics counts as a hobby if you stay on the local level. It's a bit like football, for every game there will be lots of rather boring preparation to slog through. It's absolutely a team sport. You can't accomplish anything alone, no matter how right you are. My experience from the building council in a city of about 260 000 inhabitants has also taught me that often your ability to change things are stymied by institutional barriers and lack of jurisdiction. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try, but you should have a high tolerance against frustration.

Captain Mog posted:Here's a guy in charge of our city which has a myriad of problems and he conducts himself like an absolute shithead in public. I can only wonder how many other people on the council act like that. On the other hand it also attracts a lot of great people with a strong sense of civic duty, but you rarely hear about the them, unless you follow politics really closely, because they don't produce scandalous headlines.
