Are you a member of a political party/organisation?

Fairly simple question.

I am currently unattached. Single and ready to mingle.

No. I'd have to get the right to vote in the polity I want to live in first.

(I have a vote, but in a failed petrostate which should be destroyed. Not really anything you can achieve by political means though.)

I'm not a party member. On the mainland I'd be an independent, but here I'm pretty solidly Alliance so joining the party would make sense. CBF though. More important things to do than politics.

Have never voted and don't see myself ever being sufficiently arsed to do so. I used to be blissfully ignorant of all things political and only started taking an interest in the last couple of years. I wish I could go back to the blissful ignorance state.

I know there are much worse failure modes for petrostates, but it doesn't mean Norway hasn't extracted immense amounts of economic rent from being one of the world's most reliable dealers of oil fixes, and then aggressively restricting that to the five million lucky souls from the penile end of the continent...and don't ask me to describe the bizarre capitalization constructions that have been made to siphon the profits to local elites (self included, one of these capital constructs paid for my education).

If you want some academic and not random angry guilty rants, I recommend this PDF.

Been a member of some pretty crazy parties in wildy. Lost my rune full once when the party I joined turned on me.

You ever read The Dictator's Handbook? Feel like this stuff fits quite neatly into that worldview.
