    #11 - Actually Peter being a member of a political party has never prevented me from being free to have honest discussions or be friends with people who are members of other parties. It does not work like you suggest.

    I have some long-standing friends in the Labour Party though, suddenly, in 1991 after the local elections, they were told they should not fraternise and became nervous looking over their shoulder when speaking to Conservatives in public. I found that very sad and it was easy to spot the new 'hard men' who made it difficult for them. That though does not have to be a problem and, I suspect, those 'hard men' are not people worth becoming friendly with and that is nothing to do with their politics or party membership.

    I have remained friends with many old Labour and LibDem councillors/former councillors from the old days.
