Even with the hard figures we have you then have to ask, well, what does that mean? People talk about doing their own research but we all fall prone to confirming our own biases. I try to link to papers that at least have a considered tone on the issue, i.e the FT earlier, but those papers still have a position.
You're just going to have to find sources you trust and see from there. In the end no one is going to come down from above and gift you a correct answer.

Yeah silly me for expecting politicians to be honest and that is how I will vote, based on what's best for the little man and not for what's in the interest of politicians or big business
