Is politics as popular as it once was?

[Lark]

Or is it essentially a niche and marginal interest? Is there as much political symbolism, fiction, writing etc. as always or is there less and lessening?

Are you polling us for the government?

 

[Cornerstone]

I think less people believe it is the top politicians who actually make the important decisions.
And yet, because of all their public appearances, they are the prime targets for mockery.

Then the actual serious reason why we dislike them is forgotten and replaced with new-news.

 

[Flavus Aquila]

Politicians used to be celebrities.
