This is a brief opinion article whose title, "Too much politicking, little politics," already announces its central thesis. The author argues that there is currently too much politicking and little genuine politics.
The text presents a reflection on the lack of common sense in current politics. According to the columnist, this deficiency does not result from an excess of ideology, as many might think, but precisely the opposite.
The article's main message is that contemporary society has been left without ideology, and it is this absence that causes the lack of common sense. The author suggests that having defined ideological principles and values would be preferable to the current absence of clear political direction.
