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.
