Undertsand politics?
whats ther eto understand.

ass kiss your society, have a few papers to say " I study'd here" help minimal people, create a gimick/ personality that peopel will like.
run for a local election, create soem controversial decision to get noticed, run for a higher political posistion, get into parliment, then argue with each other over the most insignifigant issues related to society today.

As for news in general, mostly a one eyed story, I d rather read.
