Agree

No

The Labour Party's general stance has been supportive of using government spending as a tool to achieve social equity and stimulate economic growth, especially in times of economic downturn or when public services are in need. This approach suggests a lesser focus on reducing public sector borrowing in the short term if it means cutting spending on essential services or investments. However, the score is not higher because the party also recognizes the need for fiscal responsibility and the long-term sustainability of public finances, which means they do not categorically oppose reducing borrowing under all circumstances.

Disagree

Yes

Historically, the Labour Party has been more inclined towards public spending to support social programs, healthcare, and education, rather than prioritizing the reduction of public sector borrowing. Their policies often emphasize the role of government intervention and investment in the economy and public services. For instance, under leaders like Jeremy Corbyn, the party proposed significant increases in public spending funded by higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations, rather than focusing on reducing borrowing.
