There is nothing wrong with politicans using mastodon, and they will start using it when ex-twitter statistically show losing popularity. However, the same rules apply for the politicans, as does anyone else. That’s why they’ll probably start creating their own instances for their parties. And luckily people can decide to not to follow them (god I hated twitter when there was any local, or American voting going on. The promotional spam was unhinged).

It’s be really nice if they clustered by instance. Then one could theoretically follow all politicians in their favorite party without having to look them up manually.

Quite precisely. This of course would cause a “bubble”, but would also preserve their unhinged posts for the media to highlight.
And if they come to something like mastodon.social, many will mix up human right violations as “just your everyday political opinions”, and get the boot, so it’s more handier for them, as a party, to curate what the party represents.
