The best way to debate with a socialist is to agree with everything they say. That really confuses them!
I don't think political leanings have much to do with character, JBR. Both socialists and right wingers are equally capable of being reasoned debaters or tunnel visioned dogmatists. Tarring all your political opponents with the same brush is a tactic that suggests you can't beat them with your arguments.

Having said that, I think Herbal is OK.

I'm sure we'd get on famously down the pub, JBR, as long as politics was a banned topic of conversation.

If JBR says I'm OK, then I'm OK. Got that, Todger?

Fine by me. Just one condition...
you're buying.

Seriously, though, I've argued/discussed with some of Marge's relatives from Scotland (near Glasgow) and found them interesting people even though our politics differ.
And the old guy was a union rep. when he was younger!

The irony is, JBR, I'm not even really interested in politics.

To be honest, it isn't one of my primary interests either.
That would be the development of the pipe organ, but that would bore the socks off most 'normal' people.

Consequently, I'm happy to discuss a wide range of topics, though there are those, of course, which don't interest me at all.

I have found that as the evening goes on, and the alcohol takes effect, arguments become increasingly more humorous even to the extent of becoming distinctly silly. But who cares when you're pissed?
