Politics is about making agreements between people so that they can live together in groups such as tribes, cities, or countries. In large groups, such as countries, some people may spend a lot of their time making such agreements. These people are called politicians. Politicians, and sometimes other people, may get together to form a government. The government tries to lead the whole group.

One of the ways the government leads the group is by making laws which tell everybody what they can and can not do. There are also disagreements between different countries. If these are very serious, they can lead to war. Attempts to solve the problem are then called diplomacy.

In most countries, people have formed political parties to put forward their ideas. There is usually some disagreement between people within a party, but they work together because they feel that they agree on enough things, and they will have more power if they join together.
