Economy and redistribution
57
vs. you

Closer to broader public services: taxes and redistribution already weigh more than a drive to cut tax.
Position 6: Public services already weigh more than further tax cuts — for example affordable childcare or transit funded by tax, even if the tax bill does not fall.
More
Families with children, people without a car, and those who could not otherwise afford a service benefit most. All taxpayers pay, including those who never use the services themselves. A council would then invest in new nurseries, bus routes or libraries rather than in lowering local charges.
Lower taxes, less redistribution
Higher redistribution, broader public services

Investment and spending weigh more; a deficit is an acceptable price for concrete goals.
Position 5: You mix balance and selective investment — save where you can, spend only on clearly chosen projects, without an extreme deficit.
More
This approach requires being able to say which projects go first and which wait, and to defend that choice. The upside is flexibility: save in good years, invest more in bad ones. The risk is that without a clear rule the budget easily drifts one way or the other under the pressure of the moment.

Housing

Emphasis is on public construction and regulating the housing market as the main reply to affordability.
Position 8: Public building and regulation as the main reply — municipal flats, rent caps, stricter rules against housing speculation.
More
Tenants and people on lower and middle incomes gain most, getting stability and predictable costs. Public budgets and property owners pay, as owners' returns fall. The risk is that private investors cut back on new construction and the council has to fill the gap itself.

Energy price still weighs more than accelerated emissions cuts, but goals are not shelved entirely.
Position 3: The energy bill weighs more than accelerated emissions cuts; you accept climate goals, but without a jump in prices.
More
In practice this means choosing steps that pay for themselves and postponing costly ones. A council might insulate a school because it lowers costs, but would not hurry to replace buses with electric ones. The risk is that some changes arrive only under pressure from rules or prices and are then faster and harder.

European integration
47
vs. you
›
Membership is taken as given, but on important matters national room still beats deeper integration.
Position 5: Membership with a balanced share — some things together in the EU, sensitive topics stay at home, without pushing to one side.
More
In practice this means judging each area separately: for example joint action on external borders or energy, but domestic decisions on schools or social policy. The upside is pragmatism; the downside is uncertainty about exactly where to draw the line. This view tends to stay open to discussing the euro and further steps based on concrete benefits.

Defence and security
68
vs. you
›
Stronger collective defence and higher spending already outrank holding back on the military.
Position 7: Defence spending rises: modernising kit and a more active alliance role weigh more than civilian cuts elsewhere.
More
Modernisation could cover air defence, cyber security or new vehicles for land forces. The gain is higher readiness and a firmer place among allies; the cost is pressure on other parts of the budget and long commitments that outlast an electoral term. It often comes with readiness to send troops to allied exercises and missions.

Migration and integration

vs. you
›
Admission of foreigners is framed with stricter rules and lower numbers rather than more open gates.
Position 2: Stricter admission — fewer asylum places, tighter work visas, emphasis on controlling entry.
More
This approach usually means longer waits for permits and stricter paperwork. Supporters value knowing who comes into the country; critics point to labour shortages in sectors where local workers are scarce. It often goes with caution toward EU-wide distribution of asylum seekers.

Tradition still leads, but limited shifts in individual rights are not ruled out.
Position 4: The traditional frame remains, yet you allow limited rights for couples or minorities without remaking whole institutions.
More
The distinction between marriage and other unions would remain, but practical inequalities could shrink, for example in joint care for a partner's child. Affected couples gain more certainty; for supporters of tradition it matters that the definition of family itself stays. Similarly, it would mean careful steps against discrimination without sweeping new laws.

Education

›
Strong public schooling and more equal access already outrank selectivity and private alternatives.
Position 6: Stronger public schooling — fewer tuition barriers, more even funding across regions and schools than emphasis on selectivity.
More
This might mean free clubs, meals or school supplies, so that the family budget matters less for what a child can do. Lower-income families and smaller towns gain; the public budget carries the cost and some parents may see less room for selective routes. It often comes with interest in better pay for teachers in remote areas.
