You could ask politicians how much they've researched various questions and (in detail) how thoroughly they've considered alternative possibilities.

There are lots of interesting questions that I would like to be able to force politicians to answer truthfully. I'm just not sure that any answer would matter to the politician's political followers.

Actually admit to having considered other possibilities? That sounds dangerous!
