The People want Bad things - so political change can't do any Good

This is something I find it hard to get across - I have been harping on the theme for about nine years, and apparently few other have reached the same conclusion, if the sustained massive interest-in and hopes-from political change is any guide.

My baseline understanding that that, in modern Western countries, hardly-any-people (only a small minority) want Good things. 

Quite the contrary, in fact. If their behaviour is anything to go by, then most people want Bad things for most of the time.


And if people want Bad things; then how could politics do any Good? Improving The System will  only make the mass majority of Badly-motivated people more successful at accomplishing the Bad things that they wish-for...


A Christian spiritual awakening is therefore not some kind of luxury, not something added-on after the prior and necessary political changes; but the pre-requisite to all Good political change.

When the people are Bad, nothing positive can be accomplished by political action of any kind. It is misplaced activity. 

Christian spiritual awakening is therefore the priority. It must happen before there is any possibility of Good politics.

...First your own awakening; then see if you can help others awaken, in some way that you consider potentially to be effective.
