Not because I think you're right, or because I couldn't marshal any more arguments, because you hurt my feelings.

Just so everyone else is clear on that.
Hurt feelings?
Sorry 'bout that,
However given your posts about sentimental over practical isn't it rather telling.
Not of course saying that sentimental notions cannot bring policies, just that reality and practicality are the deciding factors.
To take a MRLparty policy as an example
Ban the hunting of polar bears in the Lake district.
Polar bears are "white" and look nice , the Lake Disrict is British and looks nice, shooting nice bears for sport in pleasant British scenery is not nice and is un-British.
From a sentimental viewpoint the policy is good and should be passed without parliamentary objections and to resounding public support.
From a practical viewpoint it is complete nonsense.
