I'm glad you don't have a problem with a new forum, and yes, I'm happy to talk about it, its surprising that the request for a politics discussion forum, has so much interest. This tells me, that there is a need for it. Its also good to discuss any potential problems, and Uny and yourself, have brought up some great points.
I hope the Webmaster grants this new forum, so that people who want to simply discuss politics, will have a place to do so.
