ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Political organisation

Okay kiddo, imagine you and your friends want to make some rules for your playtime. You all get together and decide to have a leader who will make sure everyone plays nicely and fairly. This leader has some power and authority to make decisions and enforce the rules so everyone can have fun without any fights or arguments.

Now, in the bigger world, we have countries and governments that are a lot like your playtime friends. People come together to make decisions and create rules for everyone to follow. They also choose some leaders who have power and authority to enforce these rules and keep everything running smoothly.

These leaders are called politicians and they work in a political organisation. This organisation can be as small as a small town or as big as a country. They will make decisions such as how much money goes to schools or hospitals, how people can vote or what are the consequences of breaking the law.

In a political organisation, there are different groups or parties who have different ideas about how things should be run. Sometimes, they disagree with each other and have debates or discussions.

Just like your friends have to agree on the rules during the playtime or you won't be able to play together, politicians also have to agree on important decisions so the country or the city can run smoothly.

So, political organisation is all about creating rules, making decisions and choosing leaders who work together to make sure everyone is safe, happy and well taken care of. It's like a big game of make-believe, but with real-life consequences.
