                          There's a bit of a gap between being socialist and being a callous, money-grubbing, sexually perverted tory.

                                          There ARE a LOT of Reasons why I am correct. LOT, in this context, is a collective noun, therefore plural. One could say, for example, "There IS a LOT of Socialism in the Lounge", and that would be correct. But when we are talking about the individuals, then one should say "There ARE a LOT of socialists in the lounge". It is not a difficult concept, surely? Or would you say "There IS many birds in the sky?" Bugger me! I forgot about the A! It makes it a prepositional modifier. Of course I should have said there ARE LOTS. Apologies!
