Politician P's reasoning is questionable because it involves
presupposing that a claim is mistaken on the grounds that the person defending it advocates other unpopular views
assuming that a claim is false on the grounds that the person defending it is of questionable character
concluding that a view is false on the grounds that its implementation would lead to unhappiness
appealing to wholly irrelevant issues to deflect attention away from the real issue
insisting that an obligation exists without offering any evidence that it exists
