Richard I do not know whether you are being deliberately obtuse, but you are missing the point! Quite simply, you are dressing up (or down, if you prefer) EDP policy in tendentious language!

Is the FEP's political position really so weak that it can only be sustained by characterising alternative policy as 'hypocritical'?
