You could ask it as a GCSE maths question, probably.
Candidate A will make life 20 per cent better and fairer than now. There is a 20 per cent chance he will be elected as Prime Minister by the British people.
Candidate B will make life 80 per cent better and fairer than now. There is a 1 per cent chance she will be elected as Prime Minister by the British people.
Candidate C will make life 10 per cent better and fairer than now. There is a 60 per cent chance she will be elected as Prime Minister by the British people.
Let's say A, B, and C are standing for the leadership of a political party.
Which one should you support, if you want the best and fairest outcome for the country?
I mean if you really, really care?
I mean you're not just grandstanding, or point-scoring in some abstract political debate.
I mean you actually want to make a difference to the lives of other people.
Which one should you choose?
And if your answer isn't C, then why?
