This position proposes a second Brexit referendum offering a choice between Theresa May's deal and cancelling Brexit altogether. It argues that now the actual deal is known, voters deserve a say on it, that opinion has shifted, and that a no-deal exit would be the worst outcome of all.

This position proposes a second Brexit referendum with every option on the ballot — May's deal, a no-deal Brexit, and remaining in the EU. It argues that only a vote representing all opinions can break the political deadlock that paralysed Parliament.

The dominant form of commerce is what got us here in many ways. We must reimagine this system to avoid externalities that cumulatively lead to catastrophic collapse.

This position holds that, however Evo Morales was removed, regime change in Bolivia was legitimate. It argues that the legal niceties of his ouster matter less than the fact that Bolivians were demanding a change of government — making the transition justified in its own right.

IS has caused an extortionate number of deaths in the region as well as further displacement of Syrian nationals, which has hindered the peace process in Syria.

This position holds that the answer to the Cambridge Analytica scandal is to regulate Facebook rather than boycott it. It argues that, like any business that grows too powerful, Facebook should be reined in—treated almost as a public utility and regulated to protect users' data.

This position holds that relaxing the mind is key to staying mentally healthy in quarantine. It recommends practices such as mindfulness meditation, which calm the mind and keep a person grounded in the present — easing the stress and anxiety that isolation can bring.

This position holds that the discovery of alien life would not threaten religion. It argues that religions have repeatedly adapted to world-changing ideas in the past, and would be able to evolve their theology to accommodate the existence of extraterrestrial life too.

More active women leaders in religious roles are at the table promoting gender equality. Some genders are matriarchal and promote the ideal of female sexuality for pleasure. Freedom of religion, and diversity of religion protects women from oppression.

Religion is institutionally patriarchal. It serves to oppress women and their rights. Religion has the impact of oppressing women's voices, presence, sexuality, and autonomy.

This entry describes religious anti-Semitism, or anti-Judaism, which casts Jews in a special negative role within a divine plan. It documents tropes such as the false 'Christ-killer' charge blaming Jews for the death of Jesus—a prejudice long rejected by churches.

This position approaches the soul through religion, humanity's long tradition of explaining our inner essence. It surveys how the major faiths conceive of it — from the divine connection of Christianity and Islam to Buddhism's impermanent self and the immortal, reincarnating soul of Hinduism.

This position holds that rent caps are irrelevant on their own. It argues that capping rents achieves little without accompanying legislation — above all eviction protection for tenants — since landlords can otherwise sidestep the cap by removing the tenants it was meant to protect.

Republics are like democracies in that civilians can vote. However, republics have the added element of representatives that vote in the government system on behalf of the public.

This position holds that a republic is more beneficial than a monarchy. It argues that a state governed by the people, with an elected president and officials, offers greater freedom and empowerment and permits a more equitable distribution of power.

Some say that disrespect of nature is what led to the current pandemic. We must build a society that puts that balances the needs of nature with human wants and desires.

This position holds that the evidence on whether video games cause violence is inconclusive. It argues that the scientific research is too mixed and contested to support a firm consensus either way, leaving the question genuinely open rather than settled.

This position holds that the question of whether we live in a simulation is inconclusive. It argues that scientists and theoretical physicists can neither confirm nor deny the idea, since there is little firm evidence on either side to settle the matter one way or the other.

This position names RM (Rap Monster) as the best member of BTS. It argues that, as the group's leader and one of its most prominent figures, he is also its finest rapper — the articulate front man who guides and represents the band.

This position names Robbie Keane as Tottenham's greatest striker. It points to his 112 goals in over 300 appearances across two spells — scored largely for mid-table sides rather than a dominant team — and to the passion, leadership and adoration he inspired as a club talisman and captain.

This position names Rod Laver as the greatest tennis player of all time. It argues that the Australian legend achieved more in a single year than most players manage in a whole career, and that he remains the only man to complete a true calendar-year Grand Slam — twice.

This position names Roger Federer the greatest tennis player of all time. It argues the Swiss phenomenon set a standard his rivals are still chasing, remaining the most consistent player at the top of the game and shattering the men's record for Grand Slam titles.

This position names Roger Moore the best James Bond. Remembered for his light, quippy charm across seven films, it argues Moore stayed truest to the original vision of the character—the suave, unflappable gentleman spy at the heart of Ian Fleming's creation.

There is no difference between a romantic partner and a friend for many people, so romantic love is not it's own entity rather than another form of platonic love.

This position holds that romantic love is real — and a cornerstone of a functioning society. It argues that romantic love is a genuine, distinct phenomenon, unlike any other form of love, rather than a mere illusion or social invention.

Romantic love is nothing more than a stronger form of basic love when stripped down to it's bare basics, but we assign more meaning to romantic relationships, thus making romantic love real.

Rubber slates are acclaimed for their durability, eco-friendliness, and ease of maintenance, making them a top contender for roofing materials.

This position holds that Russia is responsible for the MH17 crash. It cites the Dutch-led investigation, which found overwhelming evidence pointing to Russia, and weighs theories that the airliner was shot down deliberately or after being mistaken for a Ukrainian military transport.

Civil unions or partnerships are catch-all terms to describe the formal legal recognition of a relationship but without necessarily granting the full marital rights or label of marriage.
