As you know I havent changed my view about whether it was an illegal war. I regard Blair as the main architect of this pre-emptive strike and once he had gone, I felt more comfortable to vote for a Blair free Labour party, particularly when the opposition was the horrific Tories and the "we dont know who we are" Lib Dems.

Feel free to make an apology for talking nonsense about me supporting the Labour party through thick and thin.

In your own time.

"But surely it's idealistic, if not downright naive, to expect a voter to agree 100% and on all issues with the party he/she ends up voting for? "

I am obviously not saying that. What I am saying is that the really important issues like a legal or illegal war and whether you see this happening or not, actually matter.

"Also, perhaps you should have voted Lib Dem if you were anti-war.... "

If I had and they had got into power with Clegg as a leader, they would probably have been in Iraq by the end of the year !happy!

"Pretty much everything in life involves compromise; it's what keeps us from killing each other."

Like Iraq you mean?

Well, no - hence the "pretty much". War is when two sides don't find compromise, so try to blow each other's brains out in the absence of more sensible ways to sort things out..

PS - And when I say "absence", I don't strictly mean it in the absolute sense.

"Well, no - hence the "pretty much". War is when two sides don't find compromise, so try to blow each other's brains out in the absence of more sensible ways to sort things out.."

I know. Really...I do....I know

Note the underlined wording:

"Personally, my opinion is that he's like too many in this country and treats politics like supporting a football team;..................I think that mentality childish and unhelpful to us all.

No statements of fact, or even accusations of being mentally childish. Just opinion.

I never accused you of voting Labour through thick and thin. It's nonsense to state, or suggest, I did.

Feel free to apologise, though don't be too long about it.

Cheers.

Wot, no apology for talking nonsense in your "opinion" of my support for Labour through thick and thin? !shocked!

Glad to have you back on the forum.

Having read your contributions again to a thread entitled GPS running hospital budgets, I can see two things:

1. I have allowed myself to be sidetracked by you.
2. Your contributions appear completely worthless in terms of adding anything of merit to the topic of the thread and the related issue of Lib Dem involvement in the plans.

This is only an opinion of course !laugh!

Why should I apologise for an opinion? An opinion that might be correct?

If I'd directly accused you of voting Labour through think or thin, or stated you support political parties like many do a football team, you'd deserve an apology and I'm not averse to saying sorry when I'm wrong.
