What’s Politics #6 - Better Your Life: Political Action vs Hustle Culture

What's Politics is a series where we delve into political concepts, ideas, and questions and explore how they impact all of us. 

Something we tend to hear a lot in conversations is: “There’s no point getting involved in politics. We have no real power to change anything,” or “It’s a waste of time.” So, on today’s show, we will be discussing why you should get involved in politics and how. After all, politics affects all of us, whether we like it or not, whether we realise it or not.
