Should Gransnet be used as a political platform?

Yes. I'm sure us posters are quite intelligent enough. grin It's not anything to do with intelligence though.

I don't think you've quite understood my apprehensions.

I agree with Whitewave.

Should have thought that we are all old enough with a reasonable level of intelligence to know what is what and quite able to make informed decisions whether to sign petitions etc.

Is it right that a poster can come on here with the sole purpose of influencing major government decisions, bearing in mind that the forums are probably read and used by many many more people than actually post?

I am thinking of posts that give links to online petitions which will probably be used by those of a particular political persuasion. I am not thinking of our usual Gransnet discussions.
