ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

Independents 4 Change, being a left-wing political entity, generally supports the use of budget surpluses to fund public services and provide cost-of-living support to citizens. Their political stance often emphasizes the importance of social welfare, healthcare, and education, which aligns with the idea of using surplus funds to enhance public services and support individuals facing economic challenges. While they might be more cautious about broad tax cuts, especially if they perceive them as disproportionately benefiting wealthier individuals, their overall agenda of social equity and support for vulnerable populations suggests a strong inclination towards using surplus funds in a manner that benefits the public good.

Disagree

No

Given Independents 4 Change's left-wing orientation, it is unlikely they would outright oppose the use of a budget surplus for public benefit. However, the negative score reflects a nuanced disagreement, particularly with the aspect of funding tax cuts, which they might view as less of a priority compared to direct investment in public services and cost-of-living support. Their political philosophy typically prioritizes direct government intervention and support over measures like tax cuts, which are often associated with neoliberal or conservative fiscal policies. Therefore, while they would support the use of surplus funds for public services and living support, they might be skeptical or critical of allocating such funds for tax cuts, especially if not targeted to benefit the lower and middle-income brackets.
