Should CERN ask for money for the future circular collider FCC or not? If you like particle physics, read the internal CERN yellow report https://cds.cern.ch/record/2270978 . It is a (partial) list of things that could be done with the machine.
Have a look at the section "beyond the standard model". It is much shorter and really depressing. There is no real reason to build the FCC given in it.
My colleague Sabine Hossenfelder also says so in http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2018/12/cern-produces-marketing-video-for-new.html where she writes: "After the discovery of the Higgs-boson, there is also no good reason for why there should be something else to find, neither at the LHC nor at higher energies, not up until 15 orders of magnitude higher than what we can reach now. "
But when she says so, she is abused by all sorts of people. When CERN writes the same in its own report, nobody says anything.
CERN is shooting in its own foot. Real life is better than any satire.
