Usage of comparative with a set of adjectives

Both are valid. "More just and fair" means "More (just and fair)", by which I mean that more is applied to both just and fair, giving you juster and fairer.



More importantly to me,




more just and fair




is more elegant (and more eloquent) English than




juster and fairer




although I believe most politicians would choose




a juster, fairer system




Which is still more elegant English than juster and fairer while being less formal (and so more accessible) than more just and fair
