What is your favourite statistic?
Statistics – notoriously used and misused in political debate are all too often interpreted by opposing sides to fit their arguments. For many people it all boils down to one word: “Theatre”. That isn’t helpful.
When I was asked to speak on the topic of Europe at a recent LibDemPint, I wanted to achieve making the debate about Europe more tangible, meaningful – even visual by painting a picture of a real life situation.
The EU is not a state. It is a Union of states. But how about calling it a Team of states?
Would we get a different response from those who are totally opposed to the European idea if we talked about the European Team of states. And what reaction does it cause in the undecided which way to vote in the EU Referendum.
Think about a team that you are part of. Let’s take a team of employees in any company.
As a team they have a mission. As individuals, they have personal ambitions. But they still remain a team – pulling together.
