If you feel interested in somebody and want to find out more about them then starting a discussion on the subject is bound to lead to questions, which is exactly what the opening post was inviting, quite properly, for those who are interested. I'm not a Labour supporter either, but I take an interest in political parties other than the one I support, and at times agree with them. For me, nothing is written in stone, and I am always happy to listen to other points of view which can often be interesting and informative. Everyone is allowed their ideas and opinions, and others can disagree, and agree to disagree, without being unpleasant. We're all thoughtful adults and really should be able to discuss our politics in a thoughtful adult way.
