I don't think so, no.

We're not long away from an election, to me it's pleasing that more people seem to be involved in discussion, I can't imagine that any single opinion will reverse someone's thoughts, but even if the opinion is not to my taste I like to hear a considered thought.
I don't think that at a point in our political history like now, where huge changes are being made to the historical fabric of the British political landscape, that we could possibly be thinking about it too hard.

I'd much rather it be this way, where we might question if our discussions are overly political, than to have, (as some believe many politicians would want), the country, and in microcosm, us, thinking obediently only of 'X talent 'or Britain's Got Factor?' rather than start considering more weighty and important matters.

Also see the political blogosphere - there's much to read which will either reinforce or diametrically oppose any and every thought you might have. And there are some proper nutters too - what fun!

Vive La Revolution!
