Indeed. For a long time I’ve been saying that by the time of the 2018 election, you won’t be able to find a serious politician who will admit to having been against it. With the opening date still in doubt I’m modifying that to be conditional on the system opening at least half a year before the election, but I think the point still stands. I think something similar is likely to be true of the general populace, although there will be a few die-hards.
