That said I don't think it's productive to debate what "political" means.

- User23 5y agoAll policy is political by definition. Also the shared etymology is a bit of a hint too. Observe thar policy-makers is used as a synonym for politicians.
- brokensegue 5y agoI don't think that's what people mean when they say an issue is political. They generally mean it's contentious or split partisanly. Your definition would suggest public water utilities are "political" which sounds silly to me. Google offers the definition >relating to the ideas or strategies of a particular party or group in politics.
