This is an interesting assertion, one I think I've heard on here before. I don't suppose it's directly relevant to the topic, but I just wanted to note that it's a viewpoint I find quite surprising.
As a semi-active poster of what I consider to be generally centre-right views, I very often feel in the minority on this board. There are a handful of regular posters who seem to hold broadly similar views to my own, but I usually feel that the 'opposing' positions draw at least equal and often greater, numbers. I haven't counted, but my feeling would be that in this thread, more posters are attacking the government than defending it, despite another assertion I just read about posters 'queueing up' to defend them. And if you were to flick through the politics threads around the time of the last couple of general elections, I would expect you'd find it quite hard in the face of what you'd read to retain the opinion expressed above.
But that's just my gut feeling. Not really important, just something that stood out to me.
