   "Why do they do thing X when the polling shows thing X is massively unpopular with their voters? Why don't they do thing Y which would be popular, help a lotta people and get them elected! I just don't understand..."

   Because they don't work for you, they work for rich people, and it's not about trying to get elected, it's about creating the kind of world/state that advantages rich people in their quest to extract wealth and generate power even if it means we all die.

   Obviously.

     As Gang Of Four put it in their favourite song of mine "I Found That Essence Rare":

     "Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote hope well
     The last thing they'll ever do, act in your interest

     Look at the world through your polaroid glasses
     Things'll look a lot better for the working classes"

     crazy how verse written in 1979 still holds true today.
