Do the left wing react the same way to some austerity measures as some environmentalists do to GMO farming? Are measures such as labour law reforms eschewed because the left wing have the same paranoid concerns about the influence of big business as the environmentalists? Should politicians and economists adopt a more evidence base approach to social and economic changes? Is an evidence based approach even possible in the emotionally charged popularity competition that is politics? Do ideologically driven politicians even care about evidence?
