All we live in a world divided by blocks of power, governed by people without a real contact with population necessities, more influenced by mysterious lobbies than for democratical wishes of people. Governants are fundamentally interested in vote estimations and how to finance their political campaigns. In my opinion, people must be always in the center of the political play, and we have now technological advances that allow absolutely change how politics has been done. Now we can see thousand people dying drowned in the Mediterranean see during their escape from the war and the horror, and all as a consequence of desitions of european politicians sometimes in our name! A similar landscape can be seen in US, with people who walk from Honduras searching a future for their sons and that will find the US army as a unique answer.
I think that citizens would have to be answered for all these questions by fast and sure electronic systems to clarify exactly which tings can be done in our name and which not
I think that other politic is possible. I think that people can always understand other people, and human rights must be always first.

Well done, Albert. "Landscape" was a good word choice. I also like "unique answer" because, to me, it is an example of how a non-native speaker can say things in new ways that make us think.
[1] Another good option here would be "seeking a future". Note that both "look" and "search" require "for" in this context, but "seek" does not. I often think that the best translation for "buscar" is "to seek", because it does not require "for".
Regarding the theme, it is intriguing to consider how communication technology could change our politics. I am not sure that we want every individual voting on every issue, however. I think there is some merit in representative democracy, and in compromise.
Cheers!
