Thanks - I think

I am not involved with politics if thats what you think, although I am interested. For the record I would recognise a description of me as a lefty but I have views which are of the right - but that definition changes from country to country really. I would say I am not represented in modern politics much which leads me not to vote, or to make my vote a protest more than a choice.

My thought process here however was not to bring out the politics but to put it somewhere where those who wish to exchange 20-30 posts on left vs right, liberals vs conservatives or even the smurfs vs manchester united could have a place to go, or rather be sent by others, and others could avoid if they prefer. I can see it wouldn't work given what people have posted.

So there you go - I have changed my view. Maybe thats whats missing in politics and political debate, admitting you may be mistaken.
