Again though Grishka I wasn't talking about folk music worldwide so you may well be right there. However in the UK the folk music world does tend to be left leaning and here in Scotland it is left leaning and Yes leaning. Fair point of course is that Scotland is left of centre leaning so the folk music world is firstly likely to mirror that - but it seems more uniformly left than society in general. I simply can't think of a Scottish folk singer who is openly in favour of the Tories and the union. There may be some but I don't know of any. Whereas I could list many who are openly supporters of either the SNP, the Greens or Labour and who support independence.
