>> Problem is people who have political bias and stick to it in a bigoted prejudiced way.
This annoys the crap out of me.
I know people who are vehemently anti-Tory, who will take the slightest word of anything from the current government and twist it so they can paint it in the most evil light imaginable, and cast the current politicians as real actual demons.
Tell them you have no faith in the other side either and you'll get a lecture about the party of workers, rights for the poor etc.
Mention to these people that the legacy of the last labour government (war, prohibition, surveillance-state) isn't exactly shining and didn't actually help the downtrodden either and you'll get a grudging comment about how Blair was possibly a mistake but the 'toffs' in power now are only there to screw everyone.
Not "the whole Labour party was and still is in on this sh*t and are just as bad as anyone else, let's have some real choice", which is the only rational position I can think of. No, just hate.
I don't actually know anyone that admits to voting conservative so I haven't seen the other side. I'm sure its much the same.
My mother admits to voting for the best looking party leader.

I just despair of the whole thing.
