I'd have to agree with gg. We get other current events threads going in GD, and no one complains about those... but if it starts to smell even a tiny bit political, out it goes to the wasteland known as Politics. And then it dies a slow, uneventful death as a thread with absolutely no productive conversation.
Maybe if current-events threads were allowed to sit in GD for a little longer, we might get some more diverse participants than if it's shuffled to Politics. Then again, maybe not.
