The Take That singer believes the political movement - which aims for a classless society based upon common ownership - is preferable to capitalism although he admits he struggles with his political beliefs because he wants to buy a Rolls Royce.

Writing on his blog, he revealed: "Capitalistic conspiracy? I'm with you. The system is destined to explode and I think it's sooner rather than later … If we could get communism to work without corruption … I'm in ….The Rolls Royce Phantom is the ultimate symbol (for me any way) of our desire for 'stuff' and it's all 'stuff'. Bulls**t when you break it down … consume, consume, consume … we're at the tipping point my friends.

"Fasten your seatbelt we're in for a bumpy ride … I'm a socialist capitalist which leads to guilt. (sic)"

Robbie, 37, is having such a dilemma over his lavish tastes, he has asked his fans for their advice on whether he should splash out on the extravagant vehicle – which costs over £300,000 - or not.

He said: "I'm having a bit a Rolls Royce Phantom issue at the minute … have been for a couple of years now … truth be told … I'd luuuuuurrrrrvvvvee one … but I think about you lot and what you would think of me … I know it's a vulgar display of wealth … I guess I'm asking your permission … let's have a vote … If you lot by majority think it's ok then I'll treat myself, if not I won't, serious. (sic)"
