THE Margin has always associated the brothers and sisters of Democratic Left with the ultimate in political correctness - no sexism, ageism, sizeism or any other isms with DL.

That's why we were slightly put out that when DL published its election tax proposals, the four case histories were for people called Alex, Bob, Chris and David. All men?

Or is it that DL's Alex is an Alexandra and Chris is a Christine? And maybe Bob is Roberta?
