Economy and redistribution
40
vs. you
›
Closer to lower taxes — redistribution is more targeted than universal, and broad services are not the main emphasis.
Position 4: Cutting taxes still weighs, but a few targeted supports (housing, transport for those in need) are fine without opening broad social programmes.
More
Targeted help is usually cheaper than universal schemes and reaches those with the greatest need. But offices have to check eligibility, which costs time and money. In a city this might mean cheaper fares for pensioners on low incomes, not for every pensioner. Anyone just over the threshold gets nothing, which can feel unfair.
Lower taxes, less redistribution

Budget balance still leads, but selected investment is allowed if it does not break the whole.
Position 3: Balance still leads; one or two necessary infrastructure repairs can fit, but not new large spending programmes.
More
You distinguish between spending that cannot wait and spending that can. A bridge at risk of collapse or a leaking school roof gets fixed, a new stadium or bypass does not. This saves money, but it can mean investment goes only into patching things up, leaving no room for broader modernisation.

Private construction remains the main path; public intervention and regulation are more of a supplement.
Position 5: Private and public paths complement each other — developer projects and municipal flats, without strong rent caps or full laisser-faire.
More
In practice new neighbourhoods might be built by developers, with the council reserving some flats for teachers, nurses or young families. The upside is having several tools at once; the downside is slower decision-making and disputes over who should build how much. This view usually goes with close cooperation between the city and investors.

Climate and energy

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
80
vs. you
›
The stance rests on deeper shared decision-making in the EU rather than national autonomy.
Position 8: Deeper integration — joint action on the budget, defence, or migration rather than national go-it-alone.
More
The upside is more strength in tackling problems individual states cannot solve alone, such as protecting external borders or energy security. The price is less autonomy for national governments and parliaments. This view usually also means openness to adopting the euro, joint borrowing for large projects, or shared responsibility for arriving migrants.

Defence and security
80
vs. you
›
The stance leans toward markedly stronger collective defence and higher military spending.
Position 8: Markedly higher spending and commitments — for example a target around 2% of GDP and a more active alliance role.
More
This usually requires multi-year planning and anchoring spending in law so it does not hinge on a single budget. Deterrence and credibility with allies grow; at the same time there is less room for other investment and more dependence on large supplier contracts. In practice it also means more professional soldiers, larger reserves and stronger garrisons in the regions.

Migration and integration

Managed admission with an emphasis on limits — integration yes, but without a clear opening of entry.
Position 5: Managed admission with a middle openness — clear entry rules and integration support, without full closure or wide opening.
More
This approach usually rests on a clear mix of rights and duties — permits based on labour-market needs, alongside courses and advice. The upside is predictability for employers and towns; the cost is that people wanting a stricter regime and those wanting a looser one both stay partly dissatisfied. It often includes efforts to speed up official procedures.

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
80
vs. you
›
The stance leans toward strong public schooling and equal access as the main line of education policy.
Position 8: Equal access as the main line — a strong state network, support for disadvantaged pupils, less selection by money.
More
Typically this means limiting selective places at an early age and raising the quality of catchment schools so parents have no reason to travel for a better one. The gain is less sorting of children by background; the downside may be fewer challenges for the most gifted if schools can't handle different paces. The state and regions carry most of the cost.
