A minecraft is a social meeting place for people who come to have fun and talk to people with similar interests, you can only restrict the topics of conversation so much. There's no reason politics shouldn't be allowed, as long as its respectful. Having it in global means that more than two people can take part in the topic as /msg only lets you talk to one person at a time. If you have a problem with politically talk, a simple solution is to ignore it, either by ignoring the chat or ignoring specific players. As long as the topic is kept respectful, with no PERSONAL attacks, there's no reason it can't be allowed in the global chat.
