And there are forums on lots of specific issues. And 'LatestBreakingNews' gives headlines about news from all over the world, not just America.

I think if someone's not interested in American politics at all, this may not be the forum for you, as it is primarily an American, pro-Democrat forum, though many other issues come up. From a more British perspective you may be interested in Liberal Conspiracy (a leftwing blog; confusingly 'liberal' seems to be used here in the American sense), or in the campaigning organization 38 Degrees.
