I have not changed my views on this....however....I will concede defeat on this in that I appear to be very much in the minority on this issue as the poll and discussion has shown.

That's it kyle stand firm.. even if you are a lone voice as I so often am on here, if I vote one way on a poll you can bet your granny the rest of the forum will vote the other

The lone voices are often the right ones Kizzy, Winston Churchill was once a lone voice as to World affairs but he was often proven right.

Tony Benn was considered a dangerous and militant nutcase by the Conservatives for advocating the UK coming out of Europe. Yet look where the majority probably are now as to that issue.

I forget where it came from but at Uni someone once quoted to me, the lines, '' listen real good to the lone voice in the crowd''.
It can be amazing what you hear and learn when you do.

the lone voice n the crowd? you mean like the crazy guy with the beard shouting about how Jesus will come back and punish all the gays and girls in short skirts?

If it's a lone voice, there's probably a REASON that it's a lone voice, cause it's usually a ****ing nutter.

Good ideas tend to have traction and gain popularity quickly if they make sense. Anyone with a "lone voice" is probably insane. (and possibly dangerous)

He's not usually a lone voice in a crowd Lostalex, often he is shouting off to people passing with very few listening.

I was referring to when you have a group of people with a majority in favour of something,often it is the lone voice/s of the minority among them who actually get proven right in the end.
