From the original link:

"I got an email from Mark Whyles, Bellowhead's manager, saying: "It's very easy for one man to have political opinions. It's much harder for eleven people to agree entirely about anything so important and as such it's almost impossible for Bellowhead to take a political standpoint."

He included this statement from Jon Boden: "Since you ask (and speaking for myself, not the band) I'm a card carrying member of the Labour party, who prefers traditional music to 'political song writing'"

Critising Bellowhead for not being political is a bit, a bit but not a lot, like complaining that Morris or Rapper is not political enough.

I feel sure that if Bellowhead decided to do more 'political' stuff it would be as exciting as the rest fo the stuff they do. That's up to them. Most 'traditional' stuff is only political in the sense that it is mostly the music of working people, its actual content is all over the place.
