I don't think the discussions would stop without the Political discussion board, they'll just move to the General discussions. As such, removing the Political board doesn't seem to reach it's target. At worst, since it's not always obvious that there's a political discussion going on from the headline, unassuming people might wander into those threads without noticing in that case.

I agree however that there should at least be an option to not show those threads in the hot topics for those who want to stay (or have to due to actions sanctioned by mods) out of politics on the forums.
