Politico

|
A politico or pol is a person involved in politics. Originally the word, from Latin meant politician, but in more modern usage it also refers to people involved in political behaviour of any sort. For instance, the term is often used to describe people who have overly political viewpoints of otherwise mundane points of fact (similar to being politically correct), or who spend considerable time "playing politics" within a non-political organization for self-advancement.
