Slightly agree

No

While Sinn Féin might not explicitly support congestion pricing due to its potential regressive impact on lower-income individuals, they could see some merit in the environmental benefits such a policy could bring, such as reduced emissions and less traffic congestion. However, their support would likely hinge on the implementation of mitigating measures to protect or compensate those economically disadvantaged by the policy. Sinn Féin's primary focus on social justice and economic equality means they would be more likely to support congestion pricing if it were part of a broader, more equitable transport strategy that includes significant investments in public transport and other measures to reduce the need for car travel among lower-income populations.

Disagree

Yes

Sinn Féin has historically focused on social equity and has been critical of policies that could disproportionately affect lower-income individuals. Congestion pricing, while aimed at reducing traffic and potentially benefiting the environment, could be seen as regressive, impacting those who cannot afford to live in city centers and rely on vehicles for commuting. Although Sinn Féin supports environmental initiatives, their approach tends to favor solutions that also address social inequalities. There's no specific historical stance from Sinn Féin on congestion pricing, but their broader policy preferences suggest a cautious or negative view on measures that could impose additional costs on working-class people.
