11. You must not have children.
That is what drives me. My very Liberal Democratic friends were asking me about why my passion when "it is out of your control".
I said if I were childless like them I would not be anywhere near as obsessive about politics and the future but I have two young boys. It freaks me out sometimes when I think of the world they are growing up in.
