Politics is about getting things done, deciding how things should be,
influencing the future. Politics might be as mundane as deciding when your bin
is emptied or as important as building new homes for the homeless in Blackbird
Leys.
You dont have to belong to a political party to be involved in politics, being
a member of the Oxford Civic Society is being involved in the local politics of
planning and development.
Being a member of Oxfam is participating in the politics of economic
development of developing countries e.g. in this case getting involved with the
internatl politics of Burma.
Campaigning for the council to invest in local sports facilities at say Temple
Cowley is a form of politics.
Your politics could be making Cowley into an area you are proud to be a part
of.
