No, it's a fair comment, I think consensus government is an idea worth cherishing, realistic or not. But it will only happen when people reject wedge issues for that they are and give up the idea that 50.x% is the way to "win" on any issue. I have a very big problem with this frame. Consensus issues versus wedge issues. An illustration. One of the great policy needs of our time is to address health care. And we need to insure everyone, take the costs out of the workplace, and spread medicare to everyone. That large an issue could never be a "wedge" issue. We might disagree, strongly, over the analysis and/or the policy prescription but neither is a wedge issue.
