Yeah, OK, we know you think metaethics is boring. But what do you think about the questions raised at the origin of this thread? It certainly seems to me that ethics is prior to politics in the sense that, if concepts like good and bad were wholly chimerical, there wouldn't be much point in advocating any set of political positions.
