Agree

No

Given its centre-left orientation, the Labour Party is likely to support maintaining or increasing public sector borrowing if it means being able to fund social programs, public services, and infrastructure projects that align with their social democratic values. They have historically placed a strong emphasis on social investment as a means to achieve economic growth and social equity, even if it means running budget deficits or increasing public debt in the short to medium term. However, the score is moderated to reflect the party's commitment to fiscal responsibility alongside social investment.
