can be found in any relationship.

17. To say that an area of activity, like sport, the arts, or family life is not
part of politics, or is ‘nothing to do with politics’, is to make a
particular kind of political point about it, principally that it is not to
be discussed on whatever is currently regarded as the political
agenda. Keeping matters off the political agenda can, of course, be a
very effective way of dealing with them in one's own interests.
