Good post.
I'm a law student, and the halls are full of wannabe politicians, students in various student organizations who are proxies for different political parties, and even some professors who are prominent members of various parties (heck one prof even runs a party).

As for books. I'd suggest
Discourses on Livy and The Prince by Machiavelli
Leviathan (Shits on anarchism, but is surprisingly more liberal than people make it out to be)
I would suggest learning the basics of micro and macro economics. Micro will push for libertarianism, macro (or economic policy books) will still be economically liberal, but will get you the gist of the tools a government has at it's disposal to effect the economy, what they are used for and what drawbacks they have (a basic example is how lowering interest rates gets you growth and employment, but leads to instability and inflation).
I happened to have both courses in law school (Basic econ - mostly micro, and Economic policy - focus on macro).
As for the books, i can't recommend you what i've read because it's not in the same language, but the micro textbook is based on Economics for lawyers by Richard A Ippolito, and has a few other books referenced. I'll only list them if you ask me to.
I would suggest you grab a book on rhetoric, or see if there's a course or club about it.
I would suggest "Why nations fail".
If you have an interest in geopolitics, check out Ian Bremmer, Peter Zeihan and Clash of Civilizations.

I have in interest in matters of state, but politics is just too dirty for my liking
