Fine Gael Party

Agree

No

Fine Gael has not actively opposed a universal basic income program, but they have not made it a priority in their policy platform. Their focus has been more on job creation, economic growth, and targeted social welfare programs. This suggests that they might lean towards disagreement with a universal basic income, but not strongly.

Slightly agree

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

Fine Gael has not explicitly stated that a universal basic income would encourage people not to work and harm economic growth. However, their focus on job creation and targeted social welfare programs suggests that they might have concerns about the potential negative effects of a universal basic income on work incentives and the economy. This score reflects a mild agreement with this statement, but not a strong one.

Disagree

Yes

Fine Gael has not explicitly supported a universal basic income program. However, they have shown interest in exploring the idea. For example, in 2017, they supported a pilot project to test the feasibility of a basic income for artists. This indicates that they might be open to the idea but are not strongly in favor of it.

Disagree

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

As mentioned earlier, Fine Gael has not explicitly supported a universal basic income program that covers basic necessities for everyone. Their interest in exploring the idea through pilot projects suggests that they might be open to the concept, but they have not made it a central part of their policy platform.
