No Santa, of course it's not purely that folk music constitutes heavy leanings to the left. It may not have been sung by different people since the Thatcher years but that doesn't mean it ISN'T folk. It's a song that really tells the tale, in a few brief lines, the treachery that happened and asks the question, how did it happen? It's part of our social history. So, what is folk music? We all know that's a ludicrous question. All I know is that if I hear a song with great lyrics, a great melody that delivers a great message then, be it folk or not (I really don't care), it's won me over. Billy Bragg has that ability to deliver all three criteria on a regular basis to me. As for the tune, go listen to it. I wouldn't know a chord if it smacked me in the face. Go and put your own tune to it if you have to and take it into the clubs. But don't tell me it aint folk music!
