Left or right is irrelevant unless they have extreme views. They should however be broadly representative. Murder is murder if proved. Up to the judge/defence/prosecution to challenge if they're not happy with any juror.
Never understood why 'political' murders are treated any different. N Ireland is a case in point, many, from all sides have escaped justice. However this doesn't look to be political. It looks to be the work of a psycopathic nutter (who might or might not be the defendant), who might try and use politics as a reason. Insanity would be a better plea.
