Very strongly agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pension payments yearly for cost of living is closely aligned with ALDE's commitment to social welfare and economic liberalism. This policy ensures that pensions remain adequate over time, protecting retirees against inflation and maintaining their purchasing power, which is a key concern for the party.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Agree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports policies that promote social welfare and economic liberalism. Increasing pension payments could align with their broader goals of ensuring social security and supporting citizens' well-being. However, their support might be moderated by concerns over fiscal responsibility and the broader economic implications.

Slightly agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

While ALDE is committed to fiscal responsibility, their primary focus tends to be on investment in social services and economic growth rather than austerity measures. They might support delaying pension increases due to national debt concerns, but this stance would likely be part of a broader, balanced approach to fiscal policy rather than a singular focus.

Neutral

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

While ALDE supports transparency and accountability in government, including for politicians, their stance on this specific issue might be neutral. They would likely focus on broader reforms to ensure fairness and sustainability in pension systems rather than singling out specific groups for differential treatment.

Disagree

No

ALDE's liberal stance typically favors social protection mechanisms, making it unlikely for them to outright oppose increases in pension payments without considering the broader context of economic sustainability and social equity.

Very strongly disagree

No, they should be reduced

Reducing pension payments would be contrary to ALDE's principles of supporting social welfare and protecting citizens' rights. Such a policy would likely be opposed by the party as it goes against their commitment to ensuring a decent standard of living for all citizens, including retirees.
