Is it possible to ask a question in Politics without getting an answer that reads like a manifesto?

Yes.

But remember it is an entertainment forum. I often have to skim through lengthy manifesto style questions. So if you don't like the length of the answer, don't read it!!!

Perhaps people shouldn't ask questions that invite opinion or perhaps they should use the magic of google if they want a straight forward answer.

What's wrong with that? They have just as much right to post a long response as you do to ask the question.

The simple answer is no.
