| | Politician - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In a state, individual politicians compose the executive branch of government and the office of Head of State (unless the head of state is a non-political figure, such as a king) as well as the legislative branch, and regional and local levels of government. | | | A politician is an individual involved in politics to the extent of holding or running for public office. | | | Other organs of government such as the judicial branch, law enforcement, and the military are not usually regarded as being composed of politicians, despite the fact that the men and women involved do government work. |

| | A significant majority of full-time, career politicians are lawyers, and many return to private practice after leaving office. | | | Working as an aide for an established politician is one common way to meet contacts in the local political party apparatus. | | | In general, political careers begin with an elective office in state government; most politicians in Washington start as state legislators and work their way up the party hierarchy. |

| | He is, in many ways, an accidental politician - a staffer who had to be persuaded to run for office only 10 years ago, then an assemblyman who became Speaker largely because term limits had eliminated the Old Guard. | | | It was a characteristic that had emerged during his staff days and still defines who he is as a politician today. | | | In a time of great confusion and little experience, the calm and studied disposition that had once made him cautious about even entering politics now made him a reassuring figure and led to his election as Speaker of the Assembly. |

| | Politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The decision-making dimension was first put forth by Robert Dahl, who advocated the notion that political power is based in the formal political arena and is measured through voting patterns and the decisions made by politicians. | | | Bachrach and Baratz viewed power as involving both the formal political arena and behind the scenes agenda-setting by elite groups who could be either politicians and/or others (such as industrialists, campaign contributors, special interest groups and so on), often with a hidden agenda that most of the public may not be aware of. | | | The multiple notions of political power that are put forth range from conventional views that simply revolve around the actions of politicians to those who view political power as an insidious form of institutionalized social control. |
