The only words I've encountered so far are {lo jecta srana} and {lo girvlici'e}. Neither seem to be quite right. Obviously, there are two kinds of politics. The narrow definition refers to the state, the broader to groups (e.g. the office} in general. In both cases, we seem to be talking about activity-to-increase-power. mu'o mi'e andrus
