@seemymobot4987 Democracy means accepting it when people you dissagree with are in power when they win, and then try to win again the next time.
My political party didn't get their first seat in the parliament till the parliamentary election before the last time.
They got one seat then.
Now we got three seats.
Next time we should get 5, although anything between 2 and 9 is possible depending on how much of the target demographics choose to vite for the party. (There's other political parties with credibility on individual political topics we fight for like the environment, so if we want more voters we'll have to get them from other parties.
If we get all the interested voters to vote for our party that's 9 out of the 169 seats going to us. But 5 is more realistic, most of those voters are open to vote for us, but are still more loyal to other parties.
Anyway, most of the smaller parties genuinely do want to help poorer nations, they just dissagree on exactly how.
From developmental aid on one side to reduced tarrifs, taxes and regulation on other sides to cracking down on exploitation in other ends again etc, etc...
In my case it's about the environment so less world trade in general is desired with a more circular economy relying less on import from and export to other countries far away from us, but also a desire to help those countries doing well themselves without us etc...
I live in a oil producing country, so more money invested into building up renewable energy production in third world nations is desired by my party as a example.
Yes, like I said, lower GDP isn't desired for the benefit of third world countries pr say, it's more that from my partys point of view western GDP has to go down somewhat while third world countries still has potential for growth that isn't harmful to the planet.
As for giving a damn...
Depends.
There's people who do and some that don't.
And some in between that cares a bit but not enough to make major changes.
And people care about different aspects too for instance.
In my case I buy fair trade vegan food etc, but I'm not going to go down there with a gun in hand or revolt in my own country in order to make any changes...
And I still spend far more time trying to put food on my own table then I do at making changes for others...
Also, changes and changes are two different things.
In my partys case it'll oppose a third world country trying to build a coal power plant or cutting down trees etc, regardless of if that has a positive or negative impact in their citizens or not in the end, because that's our values.
But they'll help in environmentally sound ways.
Also, given that we border Russia we're not going to piss off the Americans in order to change the world order...
We still need them...
And fighting imperialism at all cost isn't the partys goal, just making gradual changes within the limitations they have to work with in the right direction.
