An apology

For some time I have been suggesting that people who vote for the Socialsts in British elections are like lemmings voting for the Lemming party. That is, in an act not unlike turkeys saying yes to Christmas, the 'left' wing voters consciously want to elect the very Party that has twice almost bankrupted the Country, thereby harming most the very people who support them.
It has come to my notice that equating Socialist voters with lemmings casts a slur on the character of these blameless little rodents and I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to them.
