Logical leap A conclusion that does not follow from the reasons given for it. What the tags mean → “the Liberals rise every week to tell us how many people in our ridings need government subsidies to survive.” The subsidy numbers show that many people need help, but nothing links that need specifically to ten years of the government’s policies rather than the need itself.
