Strongly agree

Yes

Plaid Cymru has historically supported progressive taxation and policies that aim to reduce income inequality. While they may not have explicitly called for a 50 percent top tax rate, they have advocated for higher taxes on top earners and wealthier individuals. For example, in their 2019 manifesto, they called for a 'fairer tax system' and a 'Robin Hood Tax' on financial transactions.

Very strongly disagree

No, establish a flat rate of tax

A flat rate of tax would go against their core principles, as it would disproportionately benefit wealthier individuals and exacerbate income inequality.
