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?

Re: Do we need a politics thread?
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......

Re: Do we need a politics thread?
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.
