Whether party politics can make you happy is debatable and depends a lot on which end you participate. Losing an election is no fun at all, winning one can trigger anything from euphoria to arrogance, and the same is true for helping in election campaigns. Observers and analysts like political scientists risk an impact to their mood as well.
For any role or outcome, we recommend a wise decision by the French enlightenment
writer, philosopher, and satirist Voltaire:
J’ai décidé d’être heureux, parce que c’est bon pour la santé
I have decided to be happy because that is good for my health

All the best and good health!
