  ChatGPTNo

Labor Party’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

No

Given its social-democratic orientation, the Labor Party is likely to support maintaining or increasing public spending to advance social and economic objectives, even if it leads to higher public sector borrowing in the short to medium term. This approach aligns with the party's historical emphasis on strengthening social services and the welfare state. However, the score is moderate because the party might also consider fiscal sustainability and the long-term impacts of borrowing.

Disagree

Yes

The Israeli Labor Party, traditionally a social-democratic party, generally supports using government spending as a tool to promote social welfare, reduce inequality, and support economic growth. Historically, social-democratic parties are less inclined to prioritize reducing public sector borrowing if it means cutting social services or welfare programs. However, the score is not more negative because the party might support some level of fiscal responsibility depending on the economic context.
