No, I don't think that's necessary: the important thing is *what they think*. They all toe the party line in all the important ways, which means that the initial aim of getting rid of those who *don't* toe the party line should be achieved (especially since there are a number of posters in that list who have a track record of attempting to censor those who they disagree with).

Obviously if any were to go over to "the dark side", and (say) start talking sense about speed cameras, they would immediately be deposed by the other moderators. It's very important to ensure that there's no disagreement among the moderators about the core issues. It should be obvious to anyone that the list was carefully chosen with that in mind (definitely no room for JNugent, Sir Jeremy, etc...they think the "wrong" things so they never stood a chance).
