Arguments are extraordinary things.
Painful things sometimes, but fantastic ways of clarifying thought.
That could be arguing with your partner, arguing with a friend, arguing in the law court, arguing in parliament.
But for me, at least, all these types of arguments show where the truth is going wrong, helps you to think more clearly, and in my case, helps me to change my mind.
A successful argument basically starts with a really good grasp of the subject.
You need to choose your subject well.
Secondly, structure.
It needs a very clear beginning, middle and end.
Thirdly, the content of it, the words, the phrases, the metaphors, the jokes, the things that give it life.
And finally, emotion.
