What political problems might that be?

All the anti-nucular protestors? Or eg whatever made Angela Merkel turn off the German reactors after a reactor of a very different design in a very different set of circumstances in Japan broke.

Fusion is just yet another nuclear reactor design as far as politics might be concerned.

Ah is see. Although I would not put it past people to protest nuclear fusion, it would be strange indeed, since nuclear fusion does not produce the same kind of radioactive waste(shorter half-life) as alternative nuclear technologies.
