It is the responsibility of the International Forum of Scientists that did it. They were actually going to lose the name planet from Pluto. The International community vetoed that idea and the scientists compromised by the label of dwarf planet, although Pluto does not have the characteristics of a planet.

why would it be political? What govt. in the world could possibly gain anything by labeling it a dwarf plant? You don't think that maybe...just maybe, we finally have the technology to fully examine the plant and found out that its such a small planet, that it should be labeled a dwarf planet? That sound more likely to me.

Well i dunno anything about politics but labelling pluto as a dwarf planet is totally insane...its been the part of our solar system for so long...i don't think they should put in this theory if they don't have any evidence as such to prove that its not a planet!

It is Bush's fault that Pluto has been outed as a real planet.
Al Gore's scientists says it's a Bush conspiracy.
Gore is standing by his planet.

I don't see how politics would play a part. I think they just decided to standardize how things are labeled.

Not politics in the nation vs. nation or political parties sense, but its discovery by an amateur astonomer (Clyde Tombaugh) might have had something to do with its demotion.
