V>V  ChatGPTYes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

Volt’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

This answer aligns closely with Volt's core principles of social justice, equality, and economic innovation. The party's commitment to ensuring that all citizens have access to basic necessities would likely make them strong proponents of a UBI program specifically designed to cover essential living costs. This approach is in line with their broader goals of reducing poverty and economic insecurity.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Volt Party, being a progressive and pan-European political movement, generally supports innovative social policies aimed at reducing inequality and ensuring economic security for all citizens. Universal basic income (UBI) aligns with these goals by proposing a way to guarantee a minimum standard of living. While specific endorsements of UBI might vary, the party's overall progressive stance suggests a strong inclination towards exploring such policies.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Volt's progressive platform, which includes tackling social inequality and promoting social security, it is unlikely that they would outright reject the concept of a universal basic income. Their focus on innovative and inclusive policies for economic and social reform suggests a predisposition against outright dismissal of UBI, which is seen by many progressives as a tool for addressing these issues.

Very strongly disagree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

Volt's progressive ideology, which emphasizes inclusivity, social welfare, and economic innovation, would likely make them strongly disagree with this statement. The party is more inclined to support policies that ensure economic security and social welfare rather than those that discourage social safety nets based on the assumption that they would deter work. Volt would probably argue that a UBI could be structured in a way that complements economic growth rather than hinders it.

Starmer Throws Netanyahu Under the ICC Bus: UK Backs Arrest Warrant for Israeli PM

Sir Keir Starmer has backed the International Criminal Court (ICC) after it issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.When asked about the issue, Sir Keir’s official spokesman said the Government respected the independence of the court.He declined to say whether Mr Netanyahu would be arrested if he arrived in the UK.The spokesman said: “We respect the independence of the ICC, which is the primary institutional institution for investigating and prosecuting the most serious crimes in relation to international law.“This Government has been clear that Israel has a right to defend itself in accordance with international law. There is no moral equivalence between Israel, a democracy and Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah, which are terror groups.“We remain focused on pushing for an immediate ceasefire to bring an end to the devastating violence in Gaza.”Under the Conservatives, the British government had told the court it intended to challenge the plans for the arrest warrants.However, weeks after coming to power, Sir Keir’s government reversed that position and said it would not object.Downing Street also declined to say whether Mr Netanyahu would be welcome to visit Britain in the future.Sir Keir’s spokesman said: “We never comment on future international visits but my position on the Prime Minister’s support for Israel in terms of its right to defend itself in accordance with international law is very clear.”The spokesman repeatedly declined to “go into hypotheticals” about whether Mr Netanyahu would be arrested if he arrived in the UK.He added: “It’s not up to the Prime Minister to determine other world leaders’ travel schedules. He engages and will continue to engage with the prime minister of Israel in support of Israel’s right to defend itself.”Pressed on what he meant by his comments about the court, the spokesman said: “It means that we respect the independence of the ICC. We respect the fact that the ICC is the primary international institution for investigating and prosecuting the most serious crimes of international concern.”The spokesman went on to say the Government’s “focus” remained an end to the violence in the Middle East, which has been ongoing for more than a year after the Oct 7 terror attacks by Hamas.
