Switching from politics via MBA?

I'm working in politics right now (worked on state and national level) after getting my degree in political science. I have little experience in consulting so far, only a 3 months internship in an unknown company during my undergrad and none in IB.

I am currently considering doing an MBA and switch careers, but I am not sure how well my profile will support this change. Is it worth the investment or would I be wasting my time?

Furthermore, I am not quite sure which program would be most helpful if I plan on working in Germany. I am currently considering WHU, ENSADE, Mannheim and FSFM. Which would be the best choice?
