LESSON 48
policy - politics


Hugh: Are you interested in politics? I was very interested in politics once. I even studied politics at university. But then, gradually, I lost interest. What would I do with a degree in political science? Go into politics? No, I didn’t want to go into politics. It’s a tough business, politics. Besides, I'm not interested in being a politician. My politics are too extreme, anyway. I don’t think people would approve of my political views. But do you know what, I’m fascinated by office politics, here at work. It’s very very interesting...

Hugh: You can study politics at university, but you can’t study ‘policy’ as such. You can study a policy document, or a policy statement, tough. Such documents or statements usually describe a party’s policy on education, immigration, taxation … They talk about foreign policy, domestic policy, economic policy, agricultural policy … Oh, I find them so boring. I told you; I lost interest in politics a long time ago.
