These are (I say in all seriousness, from first hand experience in the heart of the beast) often considered too complex as political messages.

The entire concept of trade-offs imply that policies have to be considered from multiple perspectives, and that it’s not simply “good/bad”. It also implies that these alternative values should be considered and weighed. That means you’re telling people to think carefully about what your opponents are saying. Heresy!

Sorry, but our system of political communications cannot parse anything that’s not in a simple sentence. “Emissions reduction costs too much!” “increase productivity good!” “na-na-na-nanny state!”)
