It's a distraction really. Whatever they come up with has to be a massive compromise.BellgroveBellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02011429534354744636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611157281567615666.post-18674534754637357172008-04-29T13:12:00.000+01:002008-04-29T13:12:00.000+01:00Yes, I'm finding myself asking that very question also.<BR/><BR/>I don't really see what the end game is here. Are the general public going to be that convinced by 15 randoms (and they do look fairly random) telling them how their country should be constructed?<BR/><BR/>Also, the body itself is constrained by its numbers. It can't say anything too radical given the lack of a mandate. But if what it says is too bland then it'll be seen as a colossal waste of time.<BR/><BR/>Most remarkable of all, I honestly don't find myself too interested in what the findings will be and I usually (somewhat sadly) get a big kick out of such things.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01485196287282298695noreply@blogger.com
