In political strategy literature, a politician is typically anyone that has contested any election (won or lost) AND/OR anyone who is a member of a ruling or opposition political party (irrespective of whether or not the person has any designation in the party) 😁

However, in anti-money laundering (AML) world, a politically exposed person (PEP) is an individual with a high profile political role, or who has been entrusted with a prominent public function.

The above means that a PEP might not necessarily be a politician.

In political strategy literature, however, you may have significant political influence by being a PEP (as described in the earlier tweet), OR by being “connected” (if one has a relationship or related) to an individual with a high profile political role.

Yes, you can be a politician and not have significant political influence.

Also, you don’t need to be a politician to have significant political influence.

In corporate political strategy, the presence of a strong political influence is an indicator of a company’s political behavior.
