Sometimes I forget that politicians actually work for us, the people.
In my home country, Norway, politicians are currently debating whether or not to help the people deal with rising prices, specifically for gas and electricity. That led me down a rabbit hole of wondering who politicians actually work for, especially since we are a wealthy nation that can afford to help.
It made me think: why aren't politicians fighting harder to improve everyday life for ordinary people? We have the money and the means, yet they still struggle to decide if 'they' want to support 'us'. But in reality, they were elected to serve us.
I recognize that balancing inflation and state spending is complex, but when basic living costs skyrocket, protecting everyday citizens must remain the primary duty. The discrepancy between what we get and what we need is huge for many, and I can't understand how we accept it.
