How does Google predict what David Cameron hates and loves?

After a tip-off, I thought I’d find out for myself. This is what Google thinks David Cameron loves

So far so accurate.

What about what he hates?

Yup.

Haha to be fair if you type David Cameron is… you get “a lizard” as top suggestion.

And if you type Ed Miliband loves, it comes up blank.

Hi also hates me!! But only caus I was the victor in a wrestling match with him! he is so podgy in his little shorts, I through him inot the ropes, in another life would have eated his liver

If you type Ed MIliband hates nothing comes up either…according to google he has no opinions at all.

And if you type Ed Miliband loves, it comes up blank.

This on the other hand…

Going back a few years in politics, this, but if you try “Gordon Brown hates” you get “English” and “England” showing that he is a stereotypical Scotsman or there are/were a lot of paranoid Scot-phobic English bloggers out there. On the other hand “Gordon Brown loves” brings up only “Sarah” which is rather sweet.

The first suggestion I get for Ed Miliband is:
“ed miliband gay” – which I think is people searching for his views on gay rights rather than suggesting he’s hiding in the closet. Its better than his brother, 5th on the list is
“david miliband antichrist”

One thread about gay marriage on ConservativeHome was bombarded with comments from someone insisting Tim Montgomerie had a biased agenda because if you type Tim Montgomerie into Google it predicts “tim montgomerie is gay”. (I think it says that for everyone in the world).

Ooh, fun! I quite like “David Cameron wants to… ban gay kissing”, and (call me a sentimental fool) “Gordon Brown loves… Sarah”.

It also predicted that ‘David Cameron eats….babies’.

Also, to be fair, if you type “Sunny Hundal is” it offers “an idiot” as the first autocomplete.

Very good. Now type in ‘Ed Miliband is’ and feel the love…

First result for Nick Clegg is ‘looking sad’ – there’s a blog of such pictures

Similar insults for all politicians though, not surprising. Cameron is similar. Odd ones

Also, to be fair, if you type “Sunny Hundal is” it offers “an idiot” as the first autocomplete.

That is entirely fair.

Interestingly, “Ed Miliband love” (without the “s”) does autocomplete. Either Ed Miliband are plural, or something else is going on.

It’s from his days as a professional tennis player, obviously.
