After many hours of painstaking research (thanks are here owed to the ESRC who funded a sabbatical in which I undertook this research), I can present some conclusions.......

Everybody hates the Tories.

Okay, so that may not be entirely true. 'Tis the problem of using facebook groups as your research sample, I'm afraid (though I do think the other stuff I've posted is a little more interesting/useful in that respect). However, if this is anything to go by, I'm going to place a bet now on the next general election results..........

Oh, and I have figured out why the Alan Johnson group is disproportionately bigger than the others. It has something to do with a link to it featuring on a disproportionate amount of other groups (i.e. all of them, and not just the labour or politics ones either). Having attempted to restore some balance, we shall see if the situation changes.
