Economy and redistribution
28
vs. you
›
Closer to lower taxes — redistribution is more targeted than universal, and broad services are not the main emphasis.
Position 3: Taxes stay modest; redistribution targets low incomes, not universal free services for the whole society.
More
Discounts and allowances would go mainly to low-income households, for example help with rent or school meals. People on middle and higher incomes would pay extra for some services. Such a system tends to be cheaper, but it requires means-testing and paperwork, and it can deter people who need help but feel ashamed to ask.
Lower taxes, less redistribution

Budget balance still leads, but selected investment is allowed if it does not break the whole.
Position 4: The budget should stay steady, but concrete investment (roads, digitalisation) can fit if it does not break the whole or raise the deficit sharply.
More
The key question is how strictly to weigh each investment's benefit against its effect on debt. The state avoids needless borrowing while not postponing every project. In practice it can mean favouring investments that cut running costs themselves, such as digital public services or more efficient street lighting.

Housing

The answer is sought more in private building and looser rules than in state construction or rent controls.
Position 0: Housing should be left to the market — fastest possible permits for developers, no rent caps, and the state does not build flats.
More
This approach relies on the idea that if building is fast and plentiful, prices and rents will settle on their own over time. Developers, construction firms and people able to buy would gain most. Tenants, though, would have no protection against sudden rent jumps, and the council would sell its land rather than use it itself.

Energy price and a pace households and firms can bear come first — emissions goals move more slowly.
Position 1: Energy price leads: a slower phase-out of fossil sources and fewer mandatory green investments for firms and households.
More
This approach saves households and firms money in the short run and protects jobs in traditional industries, such as in coal regions. The risk is that modernisation is postponed and may cost more later, especially if carbon permits get pricier. For cities it means voluntary rather than mandatory programmes, for example for replacing old boilers.

European integration

Membership is taken as given, but on important matters national room still beats deeper integration.
Position 3: Membership yes, but on sensitive matters (tax, migration, the budget) national room still beats deeper integration.
More
The country would enjoy the benefits of the single market, free travel and EU funds while keeping the key levers for itself. The risk is that other states move faster without it and form an inner group that shapes the Union's future. This view usually means backing unanimity on tax and the budget.

Stronger collective defence and higher spending already outrank holding back on the military.
Position 6: Stronger collective defence — higher spending, joint purchases with allies, less holding back on the military.
More
Buying together with allies can lower prices and make shared training easier, but it also means depending on joint decisions and suppliers. A larger defence budget has to come from somewhere — higher revenue, borrowing or savings elsewhere. This position usually also backs closer ties with the domestic defence industry and involving local firms in contracts.

Migration and integration

vs. you

Admission of foreigners is framed with stricter rules and lower numbers rather than more open gates.
Position 1: Admission is clearly restrictive: low quotas, hard visa conditions and few new places; integration only for those already inside.
More
Authorities would focus mainly on screening and returns rather than expanding programmes. Towns would have fewer new residents needing school places or housing, but there could be gaps in construction, healthcare or social care. Families of foreigners already living here could find reunification harder.

Tradition still leads, but limited shifts in individual rights are not ruled out.
Position 3: Tradition still leads, but small shifts in individual rights (for example practical partnership arrangements) are not ruled out.
More
Concretely this could mean solving practical matters — inheritance, access to a partner's health information or shared housing — without changing the concept of marriage. The upside is responsiveness to real problems without a big clash over symbols; critics on both sides may see it as a half-measure. Locally it usually means a neutral approach to events organised by minorities.

Public schools remain, but the emphasis is more on choice and differentiated paths than uniform equal access.
Position 3: Public schools remain, but the emphasis is more on parental choice and differentiated paths than uniform equal access for all.
More
The emphasis is on letting children move faster or take a different route according to ability — early-entry grammar schools, specialised classes, talent programmes. Gifted pupils can benefit, but children are sorted early and results often reflect family background. It usually also means keeping entrance exams and a mix of school founders.
Smaller state role, selectivity, and private alternatives
