I know the expression 'parochial politics', which is as far as I know used in a pejorative way.
However, parochial does not only carry the meaning of being narrow-minded or only being concerned with small issues that happen in your local area.
"It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see." (Winston Churchill) 
Mainly (or originally), it means being supported by or located in a parish, such as parochial schools or churches.
IMHO.
