Very little. However, he and his fellow Lord Chamberlain's Men got caught up in politics once when Essex hired them to play the uncut version of Richard II at the Globe, in the hope that the depiction of Richard being deposed would dispose the people to want to depose Queen Elizabeth in favour of Essex. Of course it didn't work even slightly, but the Chamberlain's Men had to undergo some serious grilling by their version of Homeland Security before they were let free.

What was Shakespeare's political affiliation?
Shakespeare did not get involved in national politics for two reasons: first, he was not a nobleman and only noblemen could go to court and influence the monarch and second, it was dangerous to make political statements in plays, as the producers of The Isle of Dogs found to their cost. Although Shakespeare's father was involved in local politics, Shakespeare was not really connected enough to Stratford to play a part in their political system, and not respectable enough to be involved in London politics. Also, political parties as we now understand them did not exist in Shakespeare's day.

Shakespeare kept away from politics for the most part. The closest he came was when the Earl of Essex commissioned a special performance of Richard II, complete with its deposition scene, by the Lord Chamberlain's Men in order to buck himself up for his attempted coup d'etat.
