Do we need a politics thread?

Bit unsure about this as friends should not really discuss politics or religion if they want to stay friends?

I'm inclined to agree with the chaps above. Although we are free to discuss, abstain, rant, whatever I can't see anyone actually changing their basic standpoint so feel it would achieve little other than stir a few pots. It's a fair question to ask though - I've no issue there.
Imagine if we suggested a religion thread...... :shock: #-o

I can if you want Graham, but I think it may be useful to show people we dont want politics discussed on this site. Lets let the subject drop naturally.
