Thanks. I am on a few political forums and this one looked like it has loads of traffic when I found it on Google. Looking forward to the debate.

Why?

Neither. I consider my views to be my own and don’t subscribe to being pigeonholed in either.Are you right or left
I consider it possible to have political views without being fixed to a left or right persuasion.

Prepare yourself for some replies...But I agree with your non rigid stance
Well. That’s exactly my point. On all political forums you’ll find rigid right and rigid left posters, all usually prolific posters, argumentative and no intention of changing their stance - always “right” too!Well you’ve definitely come to the wrong place then
But I agree with your non rigid stance
My appeal is to the many floating voters, the silent majority who don’t post, but do read! Also the ones who do post, but are open minded in their views and open to reasoned debate.

An honourable position Certitude. Just don't try to be fair and open minded to the left on this Board as at least a couple of your welcoming committee will be getting out the serviettes and sharpening their knives.
I don’t like football particularly.

I'd maybe get it of they lived in Blackpool but why on earth with the hundreds of political forums around would someone choose a football site with less than a couple of thousand members.

Classic. "fair and open minded to the left".
Why? I’ve been clear that I did a simple Google search for politics forums and this had lots of traffic so I’ve joined. I explained this to the administrator when they thought my email was spam.
The forum heading is news, Covid 19, politics and AVFTT - And I can see this side of the forum is a political one. Do you have to be a football fan to be here? There’s nothing in the forum rules to say that? I live in Blackpool if that helps and went to Liverpool away in the Prem and Wembley on a couple of freebee tickets with mates, but I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the game.

Well, just raise your eyes slightly to your question to me and you'll see one of the reasons.
There are four types of poster on the politics forum here:
1. The naive (rarer than hen's teeth)
2. The eye bulgers (a fair few but not to be taken too seriously)
3. The RWNJs (right wing nut jobs), they have perfected the art of appearing intelligent on the back of a handful of brain cells, and
4. The intelligentsia: inc. one centre-right poster who believes he's God's gift to political thought and the rest are left of centre.
PS. A while back I was told off for not signifying my humour unless I did this.....
Why? I assume you’re not being serious?
No left leaning posters then? I can’t believe that, every political forum I’ve been on has a mix.Well, just raise your eyes slightly to your question to me and you'll see one of the reasons.

I’ve had a quick browse and this forum is not different than most! It’s got the left, right, middle ground etc!

if your coming on here looking for a bit of cheering up then forget it.
We have more than our fair share of Doom & Gloomers who couldn’t crack a smile if they won the lottery.
But hey welcome onboard just don’t read anything from BHOK or you’ll be phoning the Samaritans inside a week.
So a few tips
Don’t post any positive Brexit news as it’s all fake news.
Don’t post anything positive about the PM/Government.
Don’t post any positive news about our shell fish as it’s all full of nasties.
Don’t post any news at all about the Irish border.
And finally always post what you feel like saying without giving it any thought at all in line with most others and you’ll be just fine.

The middle ground shifts. The Tories and their acolytes in the Murdoch and other right wing press have shifted it so that it stands on solid Tory ground. It should belong on soft-left ground and will do once the brexiteers see the error of their ways.
I’ve only had a quick browse to be fair.
I’ve seen in this short time a 60% left and 30% right and 10% middle ground. Based on the prolific posters and their stance - but I’ll browse further.
This kind of demographic isn’t unusual on political forums to be fair.

"His move to stop privatisation".....err I don't think so. As with all egotists he wants to centralise control back into the Cabinet. Far better that he can gift contracts to his mates from that position. Cameron/Lansleys reforms were woeful so on the surface thislooks like a move in the right direction. However....the words Johnson and trust don't belong in the same dictionary.

Well if I was that "particular" I think you'd find that there would be a good few who I wouldn't allow.
Nice try though.
