A politician or political leader (from Greek "polis") is an individual who is involved in influencing public decision making. This includes people who hold decision-making positions in government, and people who seek those positions, whether by means of election, coup d'état, appointment, electoral fraud, conquest, right of inheritance (see also: divine right) or other means. Politics is not limited to governance through public office. Political offices may also be held in corporations, and other entities that are governed by self-defined political processes.

A. Benito Mussolini was overthrown by Italian monarchists in 1943 in an attempt to force Italy out of the Axis camp. The Germans rescued him and set up a puppet rump state in northern Italy. Ultimately he was hanged in a gas station in the spring of 1945.

A. A classic case would be the American President Roosevelt. Although he gave Britain massive arms assistance during the Second World war he was determined that Amercia, as a nation, would not be involved in a European war. Isolationist policy was a key policy imperative of his administration.

A. Read: Greatest leader: Nelson Mandela In 1990 the National Party government took the first step towards negotiating itself out of power when it lifted the ban on the African National Congress and other left-wing political organisations, and released Nelson Mandela from prison after twenty-seven years' incarceration on a sabotage sentence. Apartheid legislation was gradually removed from the statute books, and South Africa also destroyed its nuclear arsenal and acceded to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The first multi-racial elections were held in 1994, which the ANC won by an overwhelming majority. It has been in power ever since.
