I will ask a question, if I may. Going back to the final point about what such an assembly could, in fact, discuss or should ideally discuss, the biggest difference is the constitutional issue. I suppose the point is you could not select people from a community that would speak because of differences of opinion on the constitutional position and from the unionist side, I would presume that if whoever would be in the lucky position of being on that assembly were to form an opinion which would be different from the unionist majority, it would not make sense either. Is it fair to say that what you are really saying is you work on things, such as the social issues, you can get real change on within the existing parliament structure? If it is a fair question, is that where its strength would lie?
