PEople have political views (especially the ones who decide to post in the politics section) and will argue their points/ideology.

Doesn't mean that there is a political mole at all.

Yes!

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

I would hazard a guess that the majority here are working in IT so it would be representative of the opinion from this sector more than there being a political mole.

Considering what i've seen on other forums and in other parts of b.ie, i'd be surprised if there wasn't.

Thing is, there'd be political moles alright, but they'd be from every side, so it all balances out!

Moles?? It's not like it's a private forum.

Representatives of all parties, vested interests and walks of life are welcome to post here - as long as they do so civilly.

I'm a paid up member of the Labour party. See no issues with posting here.

Think I've mentioned that a few times on here.

I prefer the term,"Political Leviathan".

But yeah, of course there are people pushing an agenda, this is a discussion forum!:P Whether they do so for a mainline party or in the interests of reality is up to themselves.

What do you base this claim on, the obvious and total good will and pro union attitude of the board?

Of course there is vested interest. Otherwise if you had all you wanted you would not care to comment and if you had no fear of loosing it you would not defend it.

Thats why its called politics.

Oscar I think you're slightly wrong? Last time I heard scientologists/scientology wasn't tolerated on Boards (and rightly so).

I'm sure lots of politically involved people read, or have read, these forums.

Mahatma Coat is a mole. He is always pointing the finger at everyone else, and its always this kind of person who turns out to be the culprit.

Eh? Eh?

I'm a current member of Fianna Fáil, though paid up, as is kikoutthemjams describes his party membership status, would be stretching it.
