"POLITIC ¨POLITICS": THE MEANING OF THIS TITLE !!!


Some readers of this Blog have asked what is the real meaning of "Politic Politics" and why we chose this name for this Blog.  Here therefore, is the explanation. 

The word "Politic" is an adjective and in the Collins English Dictionary there are several definitions, among which are the following;

      - artful, shrewd, ingenious
      - crafty, unscrupulous, cunning
      - wise, prudent


The word "Politics" is a noun and decribes the art and science of government.  "Politics" also entails explaining the objectives of policies being undertaken.

Sometimes explanations by politicians are "shrewd, crafty or prudent", because it is what they do not say which would be more revealing, of their real intentions or  those of the Government !!!

For all these reasons the "Objectives" of this Blog have been officially published as being as follows:

"Pertinent comments on current news items, politics and sport, particularly when half truths are presented and the whole truth is obscured".
