People that don’t want to work will suddenly become engaged in the political process? Sounds like work to me.

In addition to the people who don't want to work, there's the people who can't work (due to disabilities, family care responsibilities, discrimination in the workplace etc.), and the people who could get more done without a job in the private sector (volunteers, artists, and... politicians!).
