The uniparty politicians represent themselves and their party, not voters.

we are not actually represented, that our views and aspirations do not matter anyway
Yuyutsu,
Try to think just for a fleeting moment how 8 Billion people could have their individual concerns taken into consideration by those keeping the wheels rolling ?
Humans are fitted with a herd instinct & that instinct includes looking out for each other to a great extent or in other words a sense of responsibility !
Without this instinct & discipline some groups of humans would become extinct in a very short time. That is why societies & whole civilisations rise & fall but continue they do albeit in reduced numbers. When a new civilisation reaches its zenith its downfall is guaranteed ! And, so the cycle continues !

Dear Indyvidual,

What is the point in having and keeping alive 8 billion slaves?

Yuyutsu,
Could you exist from your own merit ? The term "Slave" is quite different in the biblical sense to the Slavery going on.
As slave was someone who worked for another to make a living. Slavery on the other other hand came about from people selling other people either because of desperation or the more common occurrence of plain greed.
Slavery is enabled by people running away from oppressors rather than fighting them. It's those runners who are the real invaders of other countries. Colonisers brought mostly benefits however, bad situations arise under the best of intentions !
Being asked to pull your weight is not oppression !

Dear Indyvidual,

Time and again I ask myself why you chose for yourself this particular nickname, "Indyvidual", while your views seem to be quite the opposite - collectivist.

«Being asked to pull your weight is not oppression !»

For sure it is not, but do ask politely and nicely, then respect a 'no' answer amicably should it come.

Demanding "Do as I tell you because the land is mine", is not on: the land is not yours, it is God's.

«Colonisers brought mostly benefits»

In that case, try to convince the people involved that it is mostly beneficial for them to cooperate. Assuming these people are not slaves, either they will agree or they will not, then their choice should be final.

Stepping back, I think that allowing them true representation could tilt the scales in the direction of acceptance.

«Could you exist from your own merit ?»

Why, both people and animals have existed on earth for over a billion years. Not entirely from their own merit, but by God's grace as well.

the land is not yours, it is God's.
Yuyutsu,
In that case, do you think all the benefits brought to these people should be disregarded & let the Chinese just move in ?
