If you're going to go for dictionary definitions, I'll see your website and
raise you an Oxford English Dictionary which, amongst other definitions,
says "the political principles, convictions, opinions or sympathies of a
person or party".  Nothing about said principles, convictions, opinions or
sympathies being public knowledge.

And seeing that that relies on the definition of "political":
  A. adj
  1.a. Of, belonging, or pertaining to the state of body of citizens, its
       government and policy

Therefore, a privately-held view regarding governance is political.

Ha! you lose!
