Ray's proposal, focused on an extremely relevant issue in global politics today, can be found here.
Some additional comments: I think you have a very good plan and an excellent question. I might suggest that you will not find that one of your possibilities is right and one wrong, but that the relationship is complicated. Perhaps one might find the free-market or government-for-the-people arguments more or less compelling and support politicians who share one's views, but to really get to the bottom of "living in the truth" you will have to argue from outside of either ideology. I always find it best to try to understand what those with whom I believe I disagree are seeing that I'm not seeing. To make their best argument, to convince myself that they are right and I am wrong. This has resulted in my coming to take views that many of my colleagues find "offensive." For instance, I've been working on the self-help, kind of libertarian thinking of Justice Clarence Thomas for several years, and have become convinced that in many cases he is right, where before I would have just dismissed him. And even where I don't think he's right, or I just can't go with him, I understand and respect his reasons.
