Matt never liked politics, but he did provide a "Politics" board. I'm not sure if it still exists, but it was in the free zone. I wonder if Matt (and, of course, the folks in the UK) would consider another 'free' class of boards: Politics and Religion Both can be quite contentious, but they tend to attract a lot of interest.
For what it's worth, Zeev Hed used to have two boards: Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics and Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP). Both were in the free zone. Zeev, of course, died --- It was a great loss for all of us --- it seems to me the Your Economy board has grown up to replace Zeev's Turnips as THE place for serious discussion of the market and its environs.

Footnote: It just occurred to me as I was writing this that, if Matt did create a new class of free boards for politics and religion, I'd ask to move my TOWN MEETING (Selecting Our Leaders) board into it.
Even if Matt doesn't go that far, though, I hope he will consider putting the Your Economy OT - Politics, Religion, Conspiracy, Terrorism & War (YE2OT) in the free zone.
