Who ‘owns’ a politician and ‘how’? (1)

Yet I move to assert that lack of proper, agreeable definition of ‘politics’ is informative in itself. It tells that ‘politics’ is controversial, formless, ‘sizeless’, directionless and colourless however full its presence. Even politicians themselves cannot clearly elaborate what businesses they do. There is a technical phrase, ‘political dichotomy’ that means there is within politics ‘twoness’ say, a form of ‘twinness’ that makes a politician double – strangely - as a figure who is functionless apart from vying for taking power and subsequent to that becoming an authority that does serious ‘administrative’ business. For example on winning power, politicians make laws (parliament), subsidiary laws (ministries), command security and defence forces (commander-in-chief), discuss, set aside and allocate resources (economics of budgeting) and so forth. Politicking isn’t a professional undertaking yet politicians execute professional tasks.
