Very funny--and right on--analysis of the current political system, and the people in it!

You are thinking about "Poly" as meaning many. "Poli" means metropolitan or method of government.
"tics" in Latin or Greek is defined as the art, science of, or study of something.
So Politics, therefore, is the science of governing or government.

Many-Blood sucking insect,
Hmm, I don't know, that doesn't sound like poiliticians,
Maybe it is an Anglo or Phoenician derived word
