I vote Labour. But once in council elections, I voted for my neighbour who stood as an independent. He went on to join The Conservative Party. Should I resign from my university and pulp my publications?

If so, on account of voting Labour or my neighbour? I'm confused.



Could be worse. I could say on Mudcat that my politics are right of centre and then dismiss historical accounts that aren't at my point on the pendulum. I could refer to a racist, loony, right wing political party as "we" and expect people to believe otherwise.

By their fruits indeed..
