| >what value you get out of being a paid member? - More money from fees = better political campaigns = more voters = larger representation in Parliament/Congress = ability to change the Law(country, county or City wide). This is very rewarding - and much better than just moaning about politicians! - Large "instant" social network of people who shares the same values as you do! (We have a lot of internal messaging tools and forums.) - There is a lot of members who are lawyers, doctors, accountants, barbers etc. - so its easy to get some occasional help for free or with discount. - You can literally change the world. For example you start some loose discussion on Discord or Slack let's say about homeless people: and half year later, after various meetings and internal votes our senators/MPs can actually make such proposal to Parliment/Congress. It is VERY rewarding. - A lot of introverts inside of party, as it attracts mostly high IQ people, so it is possible to find company to play chess, computers games, board games or real life sports etc. - You can actually TALK to politicians that you see in TV. Or have beer with them. - You can argue, or give your own ideas about something - at it WILL be taken in account(internal voting even at lowest levels). - You can say: "At least I tried to DO something!" |
May I ask what the country is? I am guessing that is somewhere in Northern Europe.
