Additional Notes: Regarding to your post count, it's good concidering your member count, but still, it could be improved heavily since it's a political debating board. The member count is not good, advertise more, add your forum to topsites, affiliate, etc.
The skin is IMO awful, I'd suggests a whole new skin. The layout is okay, but your forum isen't named "US Political Debate Centre", it clearly says it's for the whole world, having a whole seperate category about US bombed with forums is just a little dull, and you could use way more forums in World Political Debate. I'd also recommend adding some new forums to "Non-Political Topics", it's very empty regarding to the other forums. The category "About the boards" is also very empty, could use a forum where you hold topics of latest updates etc.
Due to the fact that you have phpBB, which doesen't allow you to see which group a certain member is in, I went with not counting in Administration and Moderation, since I'll hardly look through all the 21 members just for that.
The member activity is pretty good I supose, since you have a good ammount of posts along with your member count, but you need to get more members active, not just a few members posting their asses off.
The originality is great, I haven't seen any forum fully about discussing politics until now during my 4 year forum experience.
That's pretty much all I can say.
