I respect your opinion and hope you're right, I really do.

That's very nice of you. I'm not sure why. I hope I'm right, too.

It reminds me of the Labour Party in the election against John major back in the early '90's. The damn thing was practically in the bag, huge triumphant rally......All to shit.

There's no guarantee of victory if we try. But there IS guarantee of failure if we don't. So, here's to everyone who stands up for reason. It's the only way to win the battle. Stand up.

You are assuming a rally is the one and only way to go. I agree that the victory is necessary. I disagree that this is a stepping stone to achieving it and suspect it will be a hostage to fortune. I've been here before and it looks horribly familiar.
