I'm not sure I would say it's so much a political affiliation thing but more of an "angsty sixth-former" one, as Roger Waters described some of Pink Floyd's more celebrated lyrics. Certain issues were handled in a manner that was shall we say not exactly seamless. I think some were smoothed out if I recall but regardless of a person's attitude to the subjects in question the handling was indelicate. I think it didn't help that there was a bit of a PR failure which did nothing to encourage considered discourse.
