Katherine Kurtz'z Deryni series is the stereotypical All Politics, All The Time fantasy, isn't it? That's nobility jostling for power. There's also some of that in Kerr's Deverry.
Oh, and I just read Scott and Barnett's Point of Dreams, where there's manoeuvring around the queen naming her successor.
There's actually quite a lot of politics in the Discworld books- the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork is the consummate politician in many ways. ("He was the Man. He had the Vote.") He's also good at diplomacy.
Zaphod Beeblebrox is President of the Galaxy, does that count? *g*
