“In our age,” said George Orwell, “there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia.” Politics is the study of where power lies, who has power (and what they do with it), who doesn’t (and what they do about it), and why.
