POLITICS is what people do to get and retain power. GOVERNANCE is how they use that power once they have it. So, running an election campaign, dealing with the media, making yourself look good and your opponents look bad, drawing up a manifesto, things like that are all part of the phenomenon we call POLITICS. GOVERNANCE involves things like making and repealing laws, holding diplomatic meetings with foreign leaders, setting taxes and managing the national budget, handling matters of war and national defence.
