    Between politics and sport. Which team/party wins, the most individualistic or the most co-operative? The one that plays dirty or fair? The one with flair or solidity?
    Between politics and business. Who wins- the ethical, idealist business(can they get big), or the business that serves the customers(electorate) any bull(eg macdonalds, processed meat with all kinds in it, and addictive chemicals)that's partially 'what they want' to get them hooked.
    Same could apply for, eg, ITV vs BBCdigital?
    Music? The Smiths or Elton John/George Michael?
    Did Oasis master the art of populism with quality/integrity?
    Did New Labour?
