Very strongly agree

Yes

The UK Labour Party has historically supported raising taxes on the rich to fund public services and reduce income inequality. For example, in their 2019 general election manifesto, they proposed increasing income tax rates for those earning over £80,000 and introducing a new 'Super-Rich Rate' for those earning over £125,000.

Strongly agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

The Labour Party would likely support lowering the income tax rate for lower earners and removing tax loopholes for large corporations. This policy aligns with their goals of reducing income inequality and ensuring that corporations pay their fair share of taxes. However, the score is not a 5 because their primary focus has been on raising taxes for the wealthy.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

The Labour Party would likely support lowering taxes for the poor as part of their efforts to reduce income inequality. However, their primary focus has been on raising taxes for the wealthy, so the score is not as high as it would be for raising taxes on the rich.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the Labour Party supports raising taxes on the rich, they may not necessarily support raising taxes on all income brackets. However, they have shown willingness to raise taxes on higher earners, as seen in their 2019 manifesto. The score is positive but not strongly agree, as their primary focus is on taxing the wealthy rather than all income brackets.

Strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

The Labour Party has a history of advocating for changes to the tax structure, particularly to increase taxes on the wealthy. Keeping the current tax structure would not align with their goals of reducing income inequality and funding public services. However, the score is not -5 because they may agree with some aspects of the current tax structure.

Very strongly disagree

No

The Labour Party has consistently advocated for higher taxes on the wealthy, so they would strongly disagree with not raising taxes on the rich. Their policies aim to reduce income inequality and fund public services, which would be hindered by maintaining the current tax rates for the wealthy.

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would not align with the Labour Party's goals of reducing income inequality and funding public services through progressive taxation. A flat tax would disproportionately benefit the wealthy and would not generate the necessary revenue for public services that the Labour Party supports.

Very strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, as they spend a larger proportion of their income on consumption. This policy would be in direct opposition to the Labour Party's goals of reducing income inequality and funding public services through progressive taxation.
