Policy vs Politics

Policy is about what would make society best (“best” being entirely subjective and open to argument).  Politics is about who is in power and how they share power and the benefits that power brings.  You can argue about policy all you want, but the team that plays better politics makes the policy.  Politics can constrain policy, but policy can never constrain politics.
