When to Wait

There are a few reasons why you might want to wait for a political decision to be made before taking action.

The decision is likely to be made soon. If you know that a decision is coming down the pipeline, it's probably best to wait and see what it is before you take any action. This will give you time to adjust your plans accordingly.
The decision is likely to be in your favor. If you have a good sense of how the decision-making process works, you may be able to predict the outcome of the decision. If you think the decision is likely to go your way, it's probably best to wait and see what happens.
You don't have the resources to take action. If you don't have the time, money, or energy to take action, it's probably best to wait for the political decision to be made. This will give you time to prepare and gather the resources you need.

When to Take Action

There are also a few reasons why you might want to take action on your own, even if you don't know what the political decision will be.

The decision is likely to take a long time. If you know that the decision-making process is going to take months or even years, you may not want to wait around for it. You may be able to take action on your own and get the results you want sooner.
The decision is likely to be against you. If you have a good sense of how the decision-making process works, you may be able to predict the outcome of the decision. If you think the decision is likely to go against you, you may want to take action on your own to try to prevent it from happening.
You have the resources to take action. If you have the time, money, and energy to take action, you may be able to get the results you want without waiting for a political decision. This is especially true if you have a lot of support from other people who are also interested in the issue.

How to Decide

Ultimately, the decision of whether to wait for a political decision or to take action on your own is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer. The best way to decide is to weigh the pros and cons of each option and make the choice that is best for you.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself when making this decision:

What is the likelihood that the decision will be made in my favor?
How long will the decision-making process take?
Do I have the resources to take action on my own?
What are the risks and benefits of waiting versus taking action?

Once you have answered these questions, you should be able to make a decision about whether to wait or to take action.

Waiting for political decisions can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. But sometimes, it's the best course of action. Other times, it's better to take matters into your own hands. By weighing the pros and cons of each option, you can make the decision that's best for you.
