I take your point Studio25......but have you ever tried to educate someone who has a firm belief that the chap or party they support is the only one suitable.......that they might be better looking at someone else?
It is nearly impossible to change the views of a dyed in the wool political supporter, and that is one of the reasons that the solution offered by Russell Brand is both implausible and unworkable. You only have to look at the numbers of people who attend the conferences of each political party to see that.

As for me pontificating...I accept your view of that and concede that my influence on the subject is about as much as a gnat bite on an elephants bum......so little that is practically unnoticeable.
