Let's pretend for a minute that you become the Prime Minister or leader of your country for a day, a week, a year, a term, whichever you like. Which period of time would you opt for and what changes would you bring into law if they were guaranteed to be passed and ratified?

Politicians can only create rules or guidance, not laws. They also rule through the consent of the governed. That is the consent of each person, not a consensus. Therefore partaking in politics makes no sense. I have never voted and never will. If people want change, they should be the change they would like to see imo.

Interesting. It must be different in your country. Here in Ireland, making new laws is one of the main tasks of the Oireachtas. A draft of a proposed new law is called a Bill. Once a Bill is signed into law by the President, it becomes an Act and is added to the Statute Book. They also have the power to amend or remove certain laws by having a referendum. We have these regularly in Ireland, it used to be illegal here to get divorced, to get married if gay, have an abortion...

Therefore partaking in politics makes no sense. I have never voted and never will.

While I appreciate your point of view, I disagree with it fundamentally, and I always vote and encourage people to do the same.

Thanks for the great engagement @mypathtofire
