    Not at all, DS polls have proved this.

    There is certainly a stance to the left on these boards.

    Its a very liberal and at times cut throat place.

    You almost never get pro-Labour comments on here.

    I think you are confusing anti-Conservative rhetoric as being a pro Labour thing.


    Labour are not generally admired. Many people really despise the Conservatives though.

    For example all posts I see is showing a million scenarios where Cameron can't remain PM? Maybe it's the usual election thing where people just want change of leadership?

    I think that is because "kippers" face a lot of abuse and criticism.

    I suspect this time five years ago the majority of the posts were pro Tory for the very simple reason that it's easier to bitch about a government than it is an opposition.

    Being pro-Labour would be like being pro spam sandwiches.

    Labour, for many people, are merely better than the Conservatives.

    In 1997 it was different, people really believed in St Tony.

    Labour supporters are too busy spending quality time with their hard working families to be able to come on here and construct meaningless polls and "What if you or someone you care for <insert something bad here> by the Tories" type threads.

    You'll probably find quite a few people who are green on here.

    You can count me in there. I despise the Tories and everything they stand for.

    While Labour are not perfect, by any means, they will not make life difficult for the working class while favouring the rich toffs, unlike Cameron has.

    I think it's more pro Labour. There's normally more critical news stories posted that favour Labour and the PMQs discussions are usually full of posters trying to spin it Ed's way, when more often than not he's getting trounced.
    The only unity seems to be over Harriet Harman :p

    Do you reckon they're Labour supporters? I'd never have guessed, perhaps it's their reasoned argument and articulation that's confounded me. ;-)

    The Tories are the party run by a rich elite to serve the rich elite, the privileged and the bankers.

    The Tories cut, cut and cut some more at things like schools, the NHS and public services while cutting taxes for millionaires.

    The Tories sell off services at knock-down rates to their rich mates.

    The Tories destroy, never create. If you are sick, weak, in need, vulnerable or poor, you are scum to the Tories.

    The Tories are all about the rich and always will be.

    More sweeping generalisations I see,

    Don't take things too literally, Fixit was being sarcastic. You can easily list an equivalent number of Tory supporting FMs. There a regulars who support UKIP, even some LibDem posters. The one thing it certainly isn't is a predominantly Labour forum.

    I don't think naming names is a terribly good idea. Those people are entitled to their opinions.

    The Labour party is run by the unions and is funded by the rich.


    Labour sold more of the NHS off than the Tories, much more in fact.

    Labour spends spends spends, with an overdraft, everything it creates is but a hollow illusion. And let us not forget the war Tony carried out, that certainly destroyed.

    Why do you say the Tories are for the rich, it seems to me they have done many things to help the working family.
