Agree

No, but eliminate tax loopholes for top earners

While social democratic parties would generally prefer to raise the top tax rate, they would also likely support eliminating tax loopholes for top earners. This is because closing tax loopholes can help ensure that high earners pay their fair share of taxes and contribute to wealth redistribution. For example, the Labour Party has previously called for measures to tackle tax avoidance and evasion.

Very strongly disagree

No, establish a flat rate of tax

Social democratic parties typically advocate for progressive taxation, which means that they would likely disagree with establishing a flat rate of tax. A flat tax rate would not align with their goals of wealth redistribution and ensuring that high earners contribute more to public services and social programs. Historically, the Labour Party has not supported flat tax proposals.
