I have seen and heard a few people saying they like Henry but wont be voting for him as he s a Tory which imo is a sweeping statement saying all Tories are bad people,they are not they just have different views on things.It shouldn't matter what his political persuasion is he is ,or seems to be a lovely caring person,imo its very unfair if Henry loses out because of that, after all we dont say Im not voting for ??? because they are Labour voters etc. Does it matter to people on here ?

He isn’t a Tory, he is a fan of the Tories.
He isn’t in the party.
Voting anybody for their political leanings is ridiculously silly.

I can't believe I kissed a Tory! Line of the series

Totally agree….sadly people can be very fickle.

Henry has just been a sincere and decent housemate and he should be judged on that alone, not his political lean to.

He's so lovely. Wears his heart on his sleeve

Yes it is nasty.

I like Henry but that's the one thing that lets him down for me. Fair enough, have your political beliefs but his ass kissing for Boris Johnson because he thinks he's "hilarious" or "brilliant" or whatever isn't a good look when he's a hugely privileged man born with a silver spoon who isn't the one who's going to be massively affected by Johnson's incompetence and terrible leadership.

The fact people make that an issue not to like him or vote him based on that says more about them.

I remember when you could have totally different political views and still be great friends/like a person/not let it affect how you treat them. I miss those days.

It’s almost as if people label people now straight away based on political views before getting to know somebody. It’s crazy people are willing to write off up to half of the population

I’ve seen this as well, it’s ridiculous isn’t it. Since social media has been a thing people are getting so arrogant with their views that they can’t accept other peoples views, they are simply correct 100% of the time in their own heads.

The fact people can’t just accept people have different views and respectfully disagree is crazy to me,

If people on Social Media struggle to accept differing views on entertainment related stuff, then unfortunately it's going to be even worse with Politics due to the serious nature of the topic.

…I’ve kept up with a few forums this season, Kaz…and I would say that if that’s how he’s being judged then it would just be a very few people because it’s not something that’s stood out as any ‘negative’ about him in anything I’ve looked at….I’m not sure about any social media sites because those aren’t something I follow…but my experience is that I’ve seen far more praise and even ‘concern’ for him in terms of his romantic feelings for Jordan…?…I think the ‘Tory boy’ is just something said more recently because that’s the ‘label’ that Jordan placed in fun and affection when they kissed…?

[Ammi]

…I think that I’ve seen more that ‘Henry doesn’t need the cash prize’…/rich boy, type stuff…

Yes Ive seen that aswell

[jones89]

I like him as is.. but that’s just a bonus haha

Henry showing the true face of the right, whilst Trish does the same for the left.

That’s quite true.. most people i know on the right are really nice and decent, down to earth human beings.. the left seem to have more prejudices that they try to cover up with their social justice warrior routines, like oor Trishy

[joeysteele]

Well I'm solid Labour although I wish Starmer the leader was more.

I've liked Henry since the first few days.
Wasn't sure I would, not because he is more a Tory.
I've loads of Conservative friends .
I wouldn't hold someone's politics against them in a TV show.
That's ridiculous

I like Henry because he's a good housemate and but for Jordan he would be the one I'd like to win.

I'd battle likely with Henry bigtime re Boris Johnson, however afterwards would thoroughly enjoy socializing over a drink too.

Kazanne and I have had battles re politics on here but there's mountains of other issues I agree with her on.
Anyone not liking Henry just because he's a Tory is both ridiculous and incredibly childish.
Pathetic in fact.

He makes it such a huge part of who he is and his own personality that it absolutely does come into effect when viewing him as a housemate

[Stu]

There's no problem getting along with people who aren't on your side of the political spectrum, but it becomes an issue when people admit that they predicate their political affinity on this cult-of-personality "Look at him, he's like your whacky mate on a night out really!" type stuff.

It's shitbrained, this kind of thinking. It cheapens the harm and damage done by government and Henry's had open conversation about it when confronted with some of that harm and damage.

That makes it a part of his presentation and fair game for the vote. You could argue it's actually a deeply important reason why someone would choose not to vote for him.

And I say that as someone who really likes the guy other than that.
