If GH from my party keeps his word, I’ll be balls deep in policy work that I can orient to EA aims. I just have to remember to follow up with him in a handful of days if he forgets, but this is my only reminder to myself. I was on a political party’s party’s economics and attorney general’s policy committee and find policy making and governance boring as hell. I even did a temp role advising a shadow minister but basically stopped showing up to work after a few days when the thrill of meeting politicians and lobbyist came to an end and the inane admin work began. Everyone at the office was too busy to ever action anything or communicate with me after I just didn’t rock up. It was surreal. Accumulating power in modern demoracies with good anti-corruption mechanisms has little private gain unless your insanely hungry for validation. Real power comes from wealth. I don’t even put political stuff on my resume.
