No not really. No party politics anyway. For one thing, the monarchy is an
apolitical institution, and discussing whether or not the games have been "worth the money" not really much different to dicussing whether anything else is "worth the money" is it? Hardly "politics" in the heavy-duty sense.
In any case, casting a quick eye back over the thread in the relatively few posts in which references have been made to politics/politicians directly, I think most of us seem to agree that politicians of all shades are largely a bunch of opportunistic, self-serving tossers who are very good at spending other people's money. So if anything, so far it's all been very cordial and harmonious, with most of us singing from the same hymn sheet - and what could be more in tune with the "Olympic spirit" than that, eh?!
