If I support the general thrust but dissent from some details (or from likely interpretations of some details), I want to know whether I have to express the few points of dissent now or whether it will be allowed that details of the policy will remain open to debate after its general thrust has received a mandate. At this stage I think it would be healthier for us to have a general consensus on the overall thrust rather than a heated debate over its details. --And.
