If you notice though it's always those who are against the Tories, you never find the Tories saying "oh they support _ so I won't vote for them"

Says everything you need to know

Tbf if someone said on BB that they support the BNP I would be very hesitant to support them, because the BNP stand for extremist views that I certainly don't agree with.

Surely everyone has a cut off point of what's too extreme of a political view to hold?

An "extreme view" is something like supporting Hitler, not opposing "multiculturalism" and unchecked immigration

The BNP are very close to the Hitler line, just luckily they don't get the votes in this country so most people can just either ignore them, or think of them as Conservatives 2.0 (which they're not) but thankfully it doesn't matter because they're not getting in for the foreseeable future.

And as I've said earlier in this thread, it depends on what type of Tory Henry is ultimately for me, like does he support a disgusting blood Sport like Fox Hunting? Is he about the Immigration side of things? Or is he purely a business minded person?

Because I do find that the Tories tend to be in three different camps as to why they are a Tory, and to me the Fox Hunting crowd is the crowd I'd least like Henry to be apart of, because in my view it's inhumane.

Even moreso if they spouted their views if they were on BB.

I've no issue with Henry, I like him and wouldn't mind him winning even.

As to your foxhunting point.
Indeed there were at least 2 recent manifesto inclusions from the Cons in 2015 and 2017.
To reverse the ban Labour brought in on foxhunting under Blair.
The Foxhunting 'Gentry' know their only chance to get the ban reversed is from the Cons.

I don't know what Henry's view is on Foxhunting but if he had ever said he supported it and would want the ban reversed.
I think on that more personal not just as political opinion, he'd lose some support.

It's certainly an issue on where I could never support the Cons.
I abhor Foxhunting and the horrible people who glorify in it.

I 100% agree with you Joey.

…I’m thinking as well that housemates in general are judged on many things because that’s the nature of it as well…and whether it be politics or whatever, from the moment they step into the house, the viewers/fans etc are all in judgement mode…as Whitney would have said, it’s not right but it’s ok…’cause BB, it is what it is…and I guess another way to flip it is…should political beliefs be ‘exempt’ from judgement also…I know that isn’t what anyone would or has suggested but…

…and surely BB really specifically choose housemates based in different aspects of their lives that they know will be judged but it’s also, getting to know the person and having those thoughts changed over time…creating new understandings, not only within the house with their fellow housemates…?…but for the fans/viewers as well…

[Ammi]

…many will vote on ‘relatable’ though, as well…not just ‘nice’ or ‘entertaining etc…so it could be said to be a ’read the room’ situation in that if the fans/viewers don’t or can’t relate to Henry…then they would be more unlikely to champion him…?..but though, he very much is being championed, isn’t he…he’s still in and could win so it’s very much that many aspects of his character are what many are seeing and have overshadowed any potential political belief judgement…?..
