Not quite sure how that matters when it's a question of providing

there are vast numbers who choose to be truly unemployed. As opposed

You do understand that unemployment benefit is supposed to be a stop-
gap, to hold you over just until you get another job?

Just fine to have to get into debt during that period, then? Or to need
help from family and friends?

Thing is lots of out of touch MPs etc say they could easily live on the
basic state unemployment benefit until they find a job, which would be
easy too.

Corse it is with one of the lowest unemployment rates in europe.
