Politics is everywhere and it is everything; it exists because we are inherently social animals who want to be part of a group. These groups need mechanisms to support their organisation, formal institutions that conduct the business of governing. Politics decides how decisions should be made and what decisions are made. It recognises the interplay between citizens' rights (to vote for example) and their responsibilities (perhaps to pay tax). Politics gives figures authority to exercise legitimate power (making people do what they would otherwise not/may not do). It is ever evolving with the scope of modern society, it is dynamic and exciting. It's how we live.
