In elections in Iceland, I have always been an abstainer. It seems like politics is such a small bundle of self-important people, who don't have much to do with things I'm interested in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Politics are close to me, but there are different ways of participating in politics.
When I was growing up in the United States and Sweden, I never thought about becoming a politician.
I don't know much about politics, and I don't want to know. That's why I rarely involve myself in politics.
I don't like politics. I am not aligned to any political party. I have friends in all political parties.
I don't talk about my politics. I am registered as an independent.
Normally, I stay away from politics - unless I'm going to run for president.
I've always been really uninterested in politicians and the acts of the Houses of Parliament, or government as an idea. But I'm interested in politics in that I'm a member of the world, and I have strong feelings of right and wrong, but I can't get into the ins and outs of it.
I'm not politically committed at all in the popular sense; that is, to any party. I'm committed to whatever's best for the normal working person. I'm not a great fan of politics.
Personally, I have as little to do with politicians as possible. The ones that I've met I've found very boring. They're extremely egotistical, incredibly self-important. If I can help it, I try to stay as far away from them as possible.
Everybody is a political person, whether you say something or you are silent. A political attitude is not whether you go to parliament; it's how you deal with your life, with your surroundings.
