Re: Are you political?
I've voted no political affilitations as well.
I'm not a member of any political party, and have voted for more than one party at differing times, dependent on who I think will do the best job.

It might have a black nose, but there is something decidedly brown on the end of it.

It's a letter in reply to mine last week, not an article.
I don't think the Observer website posts the letters.
Basically he accuses Accy Web of left-wing political bias.

I shall await my observer with baited breath....the letters page is about the only thing worth a candle in the blooming paper.

Re: Are you political?
I will be replying to the letter, to defend Accy Web's integrity.
It'll make Princess Diana's brother's eulogy look like a sweet little nursery rhyme.

I didn't put a closing date on it, though in only a few short hours the results show that politically we as a collective, have a wide range of views on Accy Web, and John Farrer's accusation of political bias here is rubbish.

Only 28 people voted so far though... out of how many members? .Maybe the poll isn't showing that this is a Labour biased forum after all but there is certainly a lack of Conservatives on here,both councillors and voters.At the moment the floaters are ahead .

Twenty eight people bothering to vote in the poll, represents a fair amount of people who use the forum daily to post.
As for there being only three people who support the Conservative party so far, it's hardly my fault that so few of them can read and write.
As stated earlier, Acccy Web is here for everyone to partake if they so wish.
