True enough. I don't think any message board discussion has ever changed the mind of anybody anywhere - especially about politics.
I suppose I am quite jaded with the system - I just don't see any alternative as being good for the region. We are one helluva cash cow but that is about it (representation by contribution?).
I don't see any meaningful reform in the federal system and think that the only the west will look after the west. While not active, I would not be adverse to Western autonomy.
