In an interview with Politics.co.uk during the2010 United Kingdom general election, the then prime ministerGordon Brown appeared to supporttactical voting in that year's general election. He said: "I want everyone to vote Labour. But if people don't want a Conservative government then they must make sure they don't let the Conservatives in."[7]
In 2013,Godfrey Bloom, the thenUK Independence Party (UKIP) member of theEuropean Parliament, attracted controversy after writing an opinion article on Politics.co.uk. Shortly after his 2,000 word article, Bloom lost the UKIP whip. He had stated that women were more suited to finding "mustard in the pantry" than driving cars.[8]
Politics.co.uk states that it is politically independent.[9] In 2017, Dunt wrote the bookBrexit: What The Hell Happens Now?[10]
