Well, here we are on the subject of minorities and majorities, etc. etc. If anyone has something to say they should be listened to, irrespective of their numerical strength or weakness, but when the messages have been communicated and everyone knows what is involved and what is at stake there may arise a genuine conflict of interest and so a decision has to be made as to who is to give way.

If the minority feels that it is a matter of principle that it should not give way and the majority feels that it is a matter of principle that it should, we obviously have a problem. I am afraid that we are beginning to wander down the paths of abstract morality, which is not what really interests me.
