Much appreciated that you give your time to do this. However might I suggest that you put words through a spell check so you don't end up writing about "Copnservatiove" governments. ;) On the subject of your point I agree entirely. As you said in your response to the Queen's speech, it is of great advantage to ministers if they can be criticised by supporters and opponents on their proposed suggestions. And it is an intelligent government that not only allows it to happen, but seeks it to happen. May that kind of government come into being someday soon. My God you get up early to write these!
