Rather it sounds like he's pointing out that two people who are hardly in ideological lockstep have a completely similar opinion on this issue.  That would seem rather pertinent.

And you and Dino are so ideological similar as to make your posts interchangeable, hence his support of your position is both unsurprising and virtually meaningless.

LOL the personal attack is your "common theme."    So "personal accountability" and self-education regarding political issues are your standards today, for this thread.  Your "abdication" charge is not clearly connected to my comments about voters changing their minds. Perhaps you would argue that sticking to a vote after one has changed one's mind demonstrates personal accountability?

The U.S. is full of people who march in ideological lockstep while insisting their views are "individual" and their own. When asked to explain or defend those views, they can't do much more than reassert them or shout "it's obvious."

Individuality appears, among other things, in how well people think through their positions and answer for them, as opposed to just throwing up ad hoc and frequently conflicting assertions, and then simply "standing by" them when questioned.  (I bet Dino agrees . . . lockstep!)

Agreement is only meaningful if it comes from people with dissimilar positions?   If Lucy were here backing the views of the EU you express in post # 10, as he likely would, would that render his agreement with you on the referendum issue "virtually meaningless"?
