FrankC opened this thread asked if a Frenchman's opinion he had found was representative of viewpoints there. Raoul provided a statistic to ponder in response, and I questioned his conclusions about its importance or implication. It's been a pretty amicable thread, generally, and no one has been doing any lecturing form what I can see.

My knowledge and views of Kiwi politics will be just as skewed as Raoul's of French politics, because we're both human and have our own biases. It's always good to hear views "from the outside looking in" and anyone who boasts "I LIVE in X, so I know better than you. PERIOD." usually knows a lot less that they flatter themselves.
