For me I don't mind too much where politics content goes and it's often a blurry line, but I think part of that can sometimes be because people often come into things wanting to make the discussion political. That's often going to make it difficult to categorise.
Race relations and crime are both recent examples of this. They attract people who are sometimes tempted to use anything vaguely connected as an excuse to state their political views on those topics, and provoke political discussions, rather than necessarily talk about the content of the post.
