On musicians getting involved in politics, he believes that people who say they keep out of politics are idiots. “You don’t have to have an opinion about anything, but to say things don’t matter is ridiculous." Although, he’s willing to admit that he doesn’t know something if he doesn’t, as in his eyes, that’s better than giving an ill-informed opinion. “I think certain musicians will just say what they think they’re supposed to say, or will express an opinion that’s ill informed. It’s fine to just not have an argument and say, “actually, I don’t know how I feel about that”. You can’t be on top of every issue across everything.”

But there’s also a balance to be struck between talking about political issues because it’s something you care about, and talking just to elevate your profile. Although Stormzy called Theresa May a paigon on multiple occasions, that was really all he did during the snap election, and some criticised and said he just jumped on the bandwagon to gain publicity, rather than actually getting informed. “I think lots of musicians use the political issue they want to talk about to elevate themselves, and that’s slightly problematic. I think it’s fine if you’ve got the big profile to then use your big profile to talk about something, but there’s a balance. Sometimes it just comes across to me as opportunistic to say “there’s this issue that everyone’s talking about, I’ll do that too”, and then your profile is raised.”

“It’s a difficult balance to strike, but I really can’t stand it when people say they don’t have an opinion on something, or that politics doesn’t matter to them, because it doesn’t make sense. You just need to make sure you’re talking from the heart, and actually doing it because you care about that thing, and not just to raise your own profile.”

Some musicians however, may choose to not talk about politics as they don't want to face backlash from fans with a different mindset.The word 'Tory' is thrown around as an insult all over Twitter, so it isn't surprising that some Conservative artists don't talk about their views - although Conservative artists tend to not exist, anyway. Gaz said, "It’s a trend that most musicians have the same mind-set, which is a lefty mind-set, and they all agree the hell out of everything." Gaz thinks it’s mainly because that’s what it’s cool to be, adding that when he was younger, he too just decided to be left-wing as that’s what was cool at the time, not really knowing about any policies. He finished with, "although there are right-wing musicians, they just don’t talk about it because it isn’t popular."
