Good question !!
oh yes, he is Christchurch and Templeton merged into one
I suppose, probably Balliol or Wadham?
true .. otherwise it'll be unbalanced ...
i mean the equal wings story ... hehhe
Every college is going to have different people who express different views, don't think there is such a thing as a left wing college. I don't know of any major communist factions operating in Oxford at the moment, but Mansfield is pretty liberal. I would imagine Catz is also not very formal and right wing, but I'm judging purely by hear say.

i'm planning to stage a bloodless coup :P
no, it's because i'm contemplating applying and would define myself as resolutely left-of-centre, and was just wondering if any of the colleges had political leanings one way or the other
oh and i am a she not a he!

Why don't you choose a college that is predominately right wing? If you did then political debates would be a lot more fun, there is hardly much fun arguing with someone that has essentially the same views. Can you imagine the conversation:
Communist1: Don't you think Thatcher was an evil bitch who destroyed the lives of all those hard working miners.
Communist2: Yeah all Tories are scum, I hate them.
This sounds frightfully dull to me.
is a college's political affiliation structural or do they rely on student participation year-in-year-out? if it's the former i can understand that certain colleges are distinctly right or left of centre. however i would be very disappointed if it was simply the result of a dearth of political eclecticism within each college.

Comes a love like this:
Oh I need you, you need me,
Oh my darling can’t you see -
The young ones,
Darling we’re the young ones,
And young ones shouldn’t be afraid
To live, love,
There’s a song to be sung:
'Cos we might not be the young ones very long.
Sorry, just seemed apt with your username. Plus the topic is pretty fitting if you've ever seen the sitcom. The downside is I now have a mental image of you as Neil (the hippy). Sorry.

Rick: "Neil, the bathroom's free! [Turns to camera] Unlike the country under the Thatcherite junta."
well actually i've never seen the young ones in my life! "young one" is the dublin vernacular for "young lady".
i don't particularly want to have political debates though, i'm not interested in disseminating marxist propaganda which is why i don't want to try proselytising any right-wing colleges. thanks for the info though, i think that's the college where the great terry eagleton taught?

He taught English at Catz where he was hated by the entire English faculty and finally left after fiddling the students. He is now Chairman at Birmingham or some such thing.
Hertford have Tom Paulin, who seems to be following in Terry's footsteps (with his ideologies: I know nothing about what he fiddles).
