how politics works

...politics are reflective, not directive. That is, the political arena is the place where policies are made that reflect the values of our culture - the habits of heart and mind - that are being shaped by...other more strategic arenas. As the Scottish politician Andrew Fletcher said, "Let me write the songs of a nation; I don't care who writes its laws."
