56. I would say that even less people care to silence expression of this issue, but here we are.

If an insignificant number of people care, why is it so important to silence those voices in the wilderness? You could just let them howl at each other. Is the reasoning here is that we political junkies should ignore any issue where an outsized proportion of the people concerned are also political junkies? That is, any issue that has not caught the eye of a large percentage of voters is not worth discussion? I’m not sure we are still in the space of reasons and more in the space of allegiance. Your ending statement is conclusory at best. What impact the release of the report will have on the Party’s chances to gain enough ground to improve people’s lives is the very issue.
