I think defining politics is difficult. I'm sure in a college class there would be this nice, though somewhat vague definition. At it's most basic, politics is the social interaction between two social entities. Given this definition politics occurs everywhere, all the time, but has not structure. We often see examples of this in business.
On the other hand we have what most people consider politics. A great culmination of a few elected officials representing the interests of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of people. This a highly structured political system.
So in some systems I see politics with no system, and in the bigger idea there is a system to politics. Given that these things are intertwined in today's society I don't see either of them being mutually exclusive.

That is very interesting, well I used to be really interested in politics but later on I realized that we, people of our respective nations should not just rely on the government but rather do our best to be a good and useful citizen of our country.
