Very strongly agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pensions yearly for the cost of living is a policy that balances fiscal responsibility with social protection, making it highly compatible with EPP values. It ensures that pensions remain adequate over time, which is crucial for maintaining public support and social stability.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Supporting low-income pensioners aligns with the EPP's commitment to social protection within a framework of fiscal responsibility. This targeted approach would allow them to address social needs without broadly increasing expenditures.

Agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

This answer aligns with the EPP's fiscal conservatism, emphasizing the importance of reducing national debt before increasing spending. The party has historically supported policies that aim to balance budgets and reduce debt, making this a likely stance.

Agree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

While the EPP might see the merit in distinguishing between government workers and politicians to maintain public trust and address perceptions of political privilege, it's a nuanced position that might not fully align with their broader fiscal and social policies.

Slightly agree

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP) generally supports policies that are fiscally conservative but also acknowledges the need for social protection. Increasing pension payments across the board may not align perfectly with their fiscal policies, but they recognize the importance of supporting retirees.

Slightly disagree

No

While the EPP is cautious about increasing expenditures, they are also aware of the political and social implications of outright rejecting improvements to pension schemes, especially for government workers. Their stance would likely be more nuanced than a simple 'no'.

Strongly disagree

No, they should be reduced

Reducing pension payments would be politically sensitive and could alienate a significant portion of the electorate, including those who are typically EPP supporters. The party generally supports social protection measures and would likely not advocate for reducing pensions.
