Interesting discussion thanks, it's what I hope for on social media.
Do people settle on a political position that suits their internal emotional needs, logic and data being irrelevant?
Hence stoking anger is a weapon of the right, what are the lefts 'weapons' ?

Or, floating this idea - have a local 'unemployment tax' whereby in each region all businesses are taxed in proportion to their profit and based on how many unemployed people are resident.
Zero unemployment=zero unemployment tax.
