Rick Kelo - Inciting Political Engagement

Some would argue that what has disillusioned the populations of countries with modern politics is the complications of the systems which they run. It could be argued that this is underhanded tactics from politicians. The more complicated issues such as social and economic policy sounds,the more likely people are to get bored of it and not want to engage with politics. This means less vigilance and less care, and in effect more power to the politicians who can act with less control than they'd be able to otherwise. This has lead to some reckless decision making in our time, culminating in the global financial crisis in 2008. However, events like this will become commonplace should something not be done to tackle this general apathy towards politics.
