One assumption that people often make about the Politics of Love — usually in criticising it — is that it is a religious framework. Often, when I’m discussing it with people, they’ll speak of love as if it cannot be divorced from religion. The assumption seems to be that because I take love seriously, I must have assumed a Christian worldview — or be about to!
Oliver Chan: Why I’m taking on the Politics & Economics Editorship
My aim as Politics Editor for Impolitikal has been to strip away the pantomime theatrics of parliamentary debates, pundit panels and saviour worship and distill politics down to power and its distribution between parliaments, communities and interest groups, and how values built into powerful political and cultural institutions prioritise some voices and ideas over others.
