Subject: RE: Us and Them: folk music and political persuasion
The working people - but not some self-appointed leaders of them.

The working people do include a lot of middle class people. Small craftsmen, farmers or merchants for instance also working.

In fact most of the population is working. And about half of them is voting liberal /left while about the other half is voting conservative.

So I am wit Jerry in this issue.

Admittedly Spleen Cringe has a point too. Being conservative I don`t have any problems sharing a song or tune with someone tending to the left but this won`t change my mind on political issues - unless they have very good arguments.

Regards
