What is politics?
Politics is a process by which decisions are made within groups. Although the term is generally applied to behavior within governments, politics is observed in all human (and many non-human) group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. Political behavior within the Grades community is generally considered retrogressive, conducted in order to retain the status quo and restrict innovation. In recent times, however, more progressive factions have sought change but an inherent ennui within the community has constricted their attempts.

Guam. G-U-A-M."

Ellon players were, reportedly, so incensed by this seemingly throwaway witticism, that, during the game in question, many of them played in a deliberately reckless and attacking fashion, during their innings, albeit for just a few overs, before ending their brief protest and returning to their avoid defeat at all costs tactics.  ...more.
