This module looks behind the curtain at how politics actually works — not how it’s presented during elections, but how decisions are really shaped long before the public ever gets a vote.
Across this module, we explore:
- who really sets party agendas
- how candidates are selected and filtered
- how money and lobbying shape policy
- why elections feel open but often change very little
- what happens once politicians enter government
- how laws are written, diluted, delayed, or quietly killed
- why climate action struggles inside this system
- and how pressure sometimes breaks through anyway
This isn’t a party-political attack, and it isn’t about cynicism.
It’s about political literacy — understanding the machinery so we can engage with it intelligently rather than naively.
If you’ve ever wondered:
“Why does everyone say the right things about climate… but nothing seems to change?”
This module gives you the missing context.
Take your time with it — it’s dense, but it’s designed to give you clarity, not overwhelm.
As always, I’m interested in:
- what challenged your assumptions
- what confirmed your experience
- and where you think the real leverage points are
This module is about seeing the board clearly — before deciding how to play.
