What people used to do with guns and swords, they now do with words and pen and paper. That is the nature of all politics. This is seen by some as progress. But it depends on how you define 'progress'. Politicians only take power to a different (higher) level. It is merely a matter of degree.
"All politics is local" - Tip O'Neill
He also said: "Before six PM it's all politics." (But after six PM, in the bar room, all politics is the same if you are politically powerful, no matter which party you belong to.)
