what does it mean?

cant get the hang of it.

How does it affect me, the common man, because i dont understand that either.

switching here and there doesnt put money in my pocket even though the switchers remain as rich as ever, so why is it important, can someone explain in simple language.

i mean constant news about people (politicians) changing from one party to another.

imo, all the parties are the same ultimately, or more or less.

They are your leaders so you have to be concerned. Even if it doesn't put money in your pocket they can make decisions that can affect your life tremendously. In some case when they switched, they carry the whole state along. The problem with most of us is that we are apolitical. We should be interested in politics even if it isn't for monetary purpose. A decision from some clueless one can affect your life forever. If it were celebrities then to hell with them! So what if Justin beiber got punched? Or some musician got married? That is what we shouldn't be concerned of. They are thousands of miles away from me, They are not assuming any leadership role and their decisions can never never ever affect my life so why should i care?

You really believe its all not just play acting?

Anybody who doesn't get that, is the one being used.

Politics is a dangerous game.
