Why don't you run for office? (self.politics)

I'm making the bold assumption, that most people here are not running, in either local body or national elections.

Everyone loves the complain about what "public servants" do. So why not step up and do something about it?

No accusation intended or implied. Just curious.

And the left aren’t the ones obsessed with abortions.

Well not most people, but a small subset of the left is obsessed with it. They were very upset about the protests in Christchurch. Now there's a law to ban the pro-lifers in Christchurch. They used to protest all the time across from the hospital, at Hagley Park. There is a road between the park and the hospital, but the femmi-nazis weren't happy and obviously they made this law change so that the protests can't be within 300m of the hospital. It's ridiculous. Why not just ban protests within 1km of parliament while we're at it.
