   Polity is the permanent system of government of a state, a church, or a society; policy is the method of management with reference to the attainment of certain ends; the national polity of the United States is republican; each administration has a policy of its own. Policy is often used as equivalent to expediency; as, many think honesty to be good policy.

Compare LAW.

1. Harry Reid:

   It's the worst foreign policy decision in the history of our country, i made other mistakes, but that was a doozy.

2. Eliot Engel:

   I welcome debate in Congress based on the merits of policy, but it's unacceptable and deeply offensive to call into question the loyalty of fellow American citizens because of their political views, including support for the US-Israel relationship, we all take the same oath. Worse, Representative Omar comments leveled that charge by invoking a vile anti-Semitic slur.

And that's not even to mention the profound change in policy of climate change, which is really, you know, an existential crisis for the planet!
