But if you can't consider it to be OK to consider discussion without automatically branding people with one thing or another, how can you consider it possible for government?
Should "the government" privatise the NHS and take us to an American model, where if you can't afford insurance and don't have a credit card, you don't get into a hospital?
Should "the government" sign up to tax laws preventing companies off-shoring their profits?
Should "the government" encourage small businesses and local enterprises, or only go after big foreign investment?
Should "the government" build affordable housing for young people, and prevent old people from buying it all up?
Should "the government" tax off-shore owners of UK property?
Should "the government" introduce tolls on motorways so that drivers pay per mile, then reduce the tax on vehicles and fuel?
Should "the government" look at long-term UK plans for power, water and transport, rather than just what will get them through the next couple of years in parliament?
Should politicians be on a maximum of 3 terms then they are out?
Should politicians be required to have worked in the real world for at least 10 years before being allowed to take their jobs?
Should politicians be forced to reveal their tax returns, including any associated companies/trusts?
Should politicians be held accountable for their promises and commitments?
Shall I go on?
