"[Bellamy held] a steadfastly apolitical stance (his widow Jenny says that during her time with him he voted for the Green Party)"

I'm probably not the only person to smile at that one!

The Green Party has certainly always been political - in the sense of having agendas way beyond green issues - and its politics has always been on the left. I don't know if that was as true 20 years ago as it is today, but today it's a lot further to the left than Labour is.

If he was "steadfastly apolitical" then he wouldn't have voted at all!
