Of the above definitions none of them really cover me unless you consider anyone who votes Labour a Laborite?

I don’t care how you label me, if that’s the best argument you have against my arguments, well that’s a bit shallow!

To reiterate, I’m not a member of any political party or political group. I usually vote Labour, though over the last few days have decided to vote Liberal Democrat even though it’s a real long shot they’ll even place second in the Boston and Skegness constituency, but Labour aren’t going to win here, so taking a punt on Nick Cleggs popularity resulting in a big swing from Labour and the Conservatives (my poll has the Lib Dems gaining over 50% the vote share since Saturday!).

And YES this is to try to keep the Conservatives out of power.

Am I biased against the Tories, YES.
Am I affiliated with any political party, NO.

What is so difficult for you to understand this? Bias and affiliation are not the same thing. Of course I’m going to have a bias towards my political views, I’m not pretending to be a moderator on something like Question Time, it’s a BLOG run by one person.

Regarding the nature of my posts, yes some of them are heavily biased to my political beliefs, it was the whole point of creating the site in the first place to try to change political opinions to the way I see things through reasoned debate.

I’m stopping no one from offering their counter argument as both a comment or separate article via the forum at https://general-election-2010.co.uk/politics/. If your arguments are better than mine, that’s fine, I don’t expect to win every debate.

If you want to write a “Why I’ll Never Vote Labour at a General Election” article, (I couldn’t write that article after all) I won’t stop you adding it to my site as either a comment or a separate article under the forum** as long as it’s unique content (if it’s copied content so already published on another site I might delete it as it can damage the sites search engine rankings).

** I hope to open this site up to others who want to start a political blog, but waiting for the next version of WordPress (software used to create this site) to be released which is supposed to offer the ability to allow others to create their own blogs. Unlikely to be before the election, looks like WordPress 3.0 is a bit behind schedule.
