I am not sure why Cooper gets so much abuse, yes he deflects, avoid the issue being discussed and argues individual post failings. So what. I suspect he is no where near as right wing as he makes out. I don't agree with his politics but we live in a democracy and one of the better ones at that. The current incumbents will eventually go down as the worst in history, they are not just stealing milk from our school children, however without a democracy even Labour would eventually screw it up. Let him his vote and opinions, I haven't actually heard him say anything repugnant.
