I agree it's a shame that there seem to be fewer left wing voices on here these days, as a Labour voter myself, but it's certainly not a conscious decision. Most have left of their own volition, for whatever reason. People say that we've allowed certain things to fester, but if people aren't reporting posts/posters who break the rules then they will often get missed. It's less use bemoaning what the forum has become if you're unwilling to be pro-active in addressing any issues.
