No, they don't - most people don't give two hoots about the political leanings of the music makers they're listening to. And quite rightly so - Bragg may be sincere, but most singers who spout right-on, left wing views, do so because it's the trendy thing to do. And how many people do you know on here who've had their political views shaped by people like him? Every person who I know on here is far too independent-minded to have their views shaped by some bleedin' pop star, mate!
You're right about the boy David trying to ape Blair in the coolness stakes, though (although Cyfr likes to pretend than he isn't).
