One certainly wants to make sure that such efforts do not succeed.

However we now have a long track-record that shows that Kent's efforts tend 
to be towards things the rest of the constituency chooses not to adopt.

So, even if one takes the nastiest possible interpretation of Kent's 
motives and then asserts that they were for the nastiest motives, we have 
considerable experience that shows that the fear you are expressing is 
without foundation.

I agree it is a bad idea.  Nonetheless, that is what some of you folks are 
doing.
