politics has 4 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 5 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
social relations involving intrigue to gain authority or power
“office politics is often counterproductive”
the study of government of states and other political units
the profession devoted to governing and to political affairs
the opinion you hold with respect to political questions
