Maybe you two are right after all.(no self-confidence...).
But I'm sure you say the Home Office (government department that deals with internal affairs, immigration... in England and Wales) and also Home Secretary (who is the equivalent to your Secretary of State).
On the other hand, I think psychologists use home politics to refer to the way a family functions....
Anyway, I think everybody in England would understand you if you said home politics.
I'm getting all muddled up, aren't I?
