It argues that if people do not engage in politics, they give power to others who may not have their best interests in mind and may not be the most capable leaders.

    Rafanan
    12 – St. Clare
    Quote

    • “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by
    your inferiors.”

    In my own understanding, if people do not actively engage in politics, they effectively give others the
    power to decide on what is important to them. Furthermore, if those others are not the most able or
    skilled people, they might decide things that are bad for the person who isn't participating and for
    society as one.

    Furthermore to the the quote, becoming involved in politics is not only a civic obligation but also a way
    to make sure that one's own interests are represented and that the best judgments are made for the
    good of all. People run the risk of handing power to those who are less deserving of it by staying out of
    politics.
