For me, the only time I think about politics and politicians is when I don't like what is happening. If there's not anything I disapprove of, then I don't even contemplate the topic. However, a politician doing things against my wishes, but in my name, really irks me. And that is the nub of the negative feeling about politics in general. The only people who care are those who feel badly about it. And that's not a bad thing at all.
