 No we can definitely blame corrupt politicians for their corruption.

 Not true either. The huge majority of the public did not vote for our govnt.  Only about 37% did. That's the problem.  There's nothing democratic about FPTP.

 My point is rather than blame and moan what are you doing about it?

 Well, Im trying to educate, clearly that people do not understand properly how our system works and why we are in this predicament.  What are you doing to overthrow one of the most corrupt govnts on earth?  Its a collective problem, so for me it is organising and campaigning to overthrow the entire system.

 Well, a word of advice. Try not to jump to conclusions and make assumptions when educating those you know nothing about and have never met. I’m up for changing the system though, so keep me posted with your campaigns.

 I don't do that.  Maybe you should take your own advice.
