Economy and redistribution
38
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
Higher redistribution, broader public services

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
no data
vs. you

No confident score for this axis yet — that is missing data, not the middle of the scale.
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.
Private construction and looser rules

Climate and energy

Cutting emissions has greater priority; short-term energy price gives way to climate targets.
Position 6: Emissions take greater priority — for example an earlier end to coal or tighter standards, even if bills rise a little.
More
Faster change benefits renewable-energy businesses, the building trade through renovations, and people in areas with poor air. Costs fall mainly on households and firms with high energy use. This view usually also means support for community energy, sharing electricity between neighbours, or solar panels on council buildings.

European integration
35
vs. you
›
Membership is taken as given, but on important matters national room still beats deeper integration.
Position 4: You treat the Union as a frame; on new shared policies you want a national brake, not automatic deeper decision-making in Brussels.
More
Existing cooperation is fine, but you want to judge each further step on its own merits. The upside is control over the pace of change; the downside is a slower EU response in crises that call for quick joint action. In practice it can mean insisting on unanimity in new areas and a strong role for national parliaments.
More decision-making at national level
More shared decision-making in the EU

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

Managed admission with an emphasis on limits — integration yes, but without a clear opening of entry.
Position 4: Entry limits remain, but basic integration help (language, work) for people already admitted is a given.
More
You see help for admitted people as a way for them to work quickly, pay taxes and avoid relying on benefits. Towns may bear the cost of courses and advice, but also see less tension between neighbours. In a large city this could mean, for instance, more capacity in community centres while the number of new permits stays limited.
Restrictive admission of foreigners

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

vs. you
›
Public schools remain, but the emphasis is more on choice and differentiated paths than uniform equal access.
Position 4: The public network stays the base; selectivity and private schools are a supplement, without a hard push for fully equal funding.
More
The municipality or region would keep good catchment schools, while selective and private places exist mainly for those who want them. The upside is a secure basic network plus room for choice; critics may point out that gaps between schools remain. It usually comes with caution toward big funding reforms.
Smaller state role, selectivity, and private alternatives
Strong public schooling and equal access
