"Politics is the art of the possible"
German chancellor Otto von Bismarck famously pointed out, "Politics is the art of the possible". Any successful politician has to learn the arts of negotiation and compromise - not to mention the Pareto principle, otherwise known as the "80/20 Rule". If he can get 80% of what he wants with a tolerable amount of effort, and getting the final 20% of what he wants will consume an inordinate amount of time, energy and resources, he's often better advised to take what he can get and let go of the rest. To use another well-known idiom, "the best is the enemy of the good". However, whe... more »
