An old description of the Balkans comes to mind: "It's the region of Europe which produces much more politics than can be domestically consumed" :-)

Also, keep in mind that there are two antonyms of "boring" -- "exciting" and "entertaining". It's fine for politics to be entertaining (see Italy), but "exciting" is iffy. Syrian politics are very exciting at the moment, for example.
