Politics is the candidates' quest to persuade the voters to elect him/her. The ad campaigns, news conferences, and the debates. The ordinances you mentioned is the legislative process of governing. The constituents can only influence, not control, the way an elected official governs. If the community gets angry enough at the leaders, the community will vote them out of the next election. This is the system of a republic as opposed to pure democracy, which is simply majority rule, as seen in California's proposition system.

not sure. but my guess is how society changes in respect to it's opinions on politics- as in more or less liberal/conservative. or how politics and world events may affect a society in general.

Politics and power is a group of elected, or non-elected people in high positions of government mostly doing their own will, and not the will of the majority of those who elected them. This is because of apathy, like here in America. In cases of dictatorships, monarchies, etc., it is a similar situation, they do as they see fit.

Its usually more subtle than that. A candidate might choose their words cautiously to avoid being pinned down on specifics may make general comments that make them to appear in favor of or against a particular issue. Depending on their audience.\n\nFor example a candidate might say "I am for secure borders and against amnesty" in one breath and then say something like "I am in favor of a guest worker program" in the next. This appears contradictory but its all in the words.\n\nThey play the word game to quote an infamous politician "it depends on what the meaning of is, is". \n\nIts easy to see why politicians are not trusted.

People usually don't hate politics.  They usually hate politicians.  Politicians are usually dishonest people that abuse power.  It doesn't matter what political party they come from; they are all the same.

International Relations (IR), a branch of political science, is the study of foreign affairs of and relations among states within the international system, including the roles of states, inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and multinational corporations (MNCs). It is both an academic and public policy field, and can be either positive or normative as it both seeks to analyze as well as formulate foreign policy.\n\nApart from political science, IR draws upon such diverse fields as economics, history, law, philosophy, geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and cultural studies. It involves a diverse range of issues, from globalization and its impacts on societies and state sovereignty to ecological sustainability, nuclear proliferation, nationalism, economic development, terrorism, organized crime, human security and human rights.

Well, if you're asking what it means it just means that it leans to the agenda of a certain political party. It is frowned upon mostly though because things usually work out better if single-party agendas are put aside and a Bi-Partisan or cooperative agreement can be reached that are better for the country all around.
