No one on Mudcat will change outcomes. The two sides will never agree.
How about a moratorium until Nov 1st. Then the fur and feathers can fly with renewed vigour!
With Parliament in recess now is the silly season as exemplified below:
"The former leader of the Green Party has apologised after a deluge of criticism from the left for her silly season 'unity government' proposal.

    "Thanks for all the comments on my proposal – I wanted to start a debate & that's happened. But it's also thrown up important questions about who is on the list and why.

    An all-white list of women isn't right. For that I apologise."


Hilarious, and you could not make that up!
