Elsewhere I have used gildcræft for politics, as in the craft of a guild. Geþingcræft might be better, or any number of possibilities, though these presuppose politics involving councils and discussion. Hogweard (talk) 18:03, 6 Se Æfterra Gēola 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The reason that I have used "stēormǣl" is because it is a calque of the Icelandic word "stjórnmál" rather than a total neologism. The calque also has fairly lucid meaning: "stēor" - "guidance"+"mǣl" - "cause, action".   Ƿes hāl!    19:42, 6 Se Æfterra Gēola 2015 (UTC)[reply]
