to feel it is time to let the election threads die off

And me, petra! It is stimulating to read so many opinions and ideas, and to learn as I go. It's our future, and that of our children and grandchildren that are at stake. Healthy debate is good, and if it gets a bit nasty, well, look at what's happening with the political groups today - especially those who didn't win.

If you don't like it, don't read it. Simple. There's always steam cleaners, or bras to discuss. Both of which I have enjoyed too, BTW!

And yet quite a few members were complaining about the post-election bile being posted on certain threads, including you, Ariadne if I remember rightly.

I don't think mollie meant that the whole 'politics' forum should die off!

Just that it should cower quietly in a corner, maybe?

As though that's going to happen, FarNorth!

No no no, FarNorth. I think these threads have shown that there are still women (of a certain age :-) ) out there who's brains are still working.
And I have to say that the most interesting and insightful have been of a different political party to me.

Anti austerity march in London next month in case anyone's missed the link.

Only women, petra?

If one finds a thread boring or irritating surely one ignores it and respects the fact that if a thread is active it's because those who post on the boring or irritating thread do not find it boring or irritating

I don't think Mollie was clear about what she meant by an 'election thread'. Discussions about the EU and HRA, NF, etc resulted from the election but took the discussion on.

A thread about threads? Isn't that against the rules?
