Sorry, I totally have to jump in again, just cos... oh gawd, it's interesting! *g*
See, I'd never say Bodie was a right-wing conservative, for all what you've said above is true - for me there are other things about his personality that transcend those very basic canon truths. I can't imagine Bodie bothering to vote at all, to be honest - I think he has other priorities in life, other things that he thinks are more important. I can see him being more of the doesn't-matter-who's-in-charge-it's-all-the-same-to-us school of thought. He wouldn't really have a political side to him...
Whereas Doyle would turn around and say summat like "Yeah, but it all affects the little man at the bottom, and they're the ones we've got to watch out for..." He's more bigger-picture, to me...
Be an interesting angle to include in a fic, definitely... *g* Although politics always gets people going, doesn't it - wonder what fans would think if you slanted their favourite character in a way that didn't go along with their own political beliefs?!
