In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

What does politics have to do with me?

Most people avoid the issue of politics and do not want to be associated with it at all. But have you ever talked about rising food prices, increased cost of living, corruption, freedom and equality and wanted to do something about it?

Everything is affected by politics. The truth is, politics plays a much bigger role in our lives than we realise.

This is a democratic country and that means it's your right to get a say in who runs your country, and how this country is run.

When we choose not to vote, we are also choosing not to voice our opinions. It's almost as if we're saying we don't care what happens.

So in that sense, we lose our right to complain if things don't pan out the way we want it too.

Register yourself as a voter now!

Barely. Haha.

It is supposed to be that way, but the fact of it being a barely case should drive us to do the right thing. Right?
