Strongly agree

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

This answer aligns well with centre-right ideology, which emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and the role of minimum wage jobs as stepping stones to higher-paying positions. Many centre-right individuals argue that minimum wage jobs are not meant to support families and that raising the minimum wage could have negative economic consequences. This view has been expressed by conservative politicians like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.

Agree

No

Centre-right ideology tends to prioritize free-market principles and limited government intervention. Many centre-right individuals argue that raising the minimum wage could lead to job losses and increased prices. For example, the Republican Party in the United States has generally opposed minimum wage increases, as seen in their opposition to the Raise the Wage Act in 2019.

Agree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Centre-right ideology often emphasizes the potential negative consequences of government intervention in the economy, including the possibility of inflation and price increases. This answer aligns with the belief that raising the minimum wage could lead to a cycle of price increases, ultimately harming consumers and the economy. This view has been supported by conservative economists like Thomas Sowell.

Slightly agree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Adjusting minimum wage standards by age group may appeal to some centre-right individuals as a compromise between free-market principles and worker protections. This approach is used in countries like the United Kingdom, where the minimum wage varies by age and apprenticeship status. However, this answer may not be universally supported within centre-right ideology.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

While adjusting the minimum wage according to inflation may appeal to some centre-right individuals, many still prefer limited government intervention in the economy. However, this approach could be seen as a compromise between left and right ideologies, as it maintains a minimum wage without requiring frequent legislative action. An example of a centre-right politician supporting this approach is former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who supported an inflation-linked minimum wage increase in 2014.

Disagree

Yes

Centre-right ideology generally leans towards limited government intervention in the economy. While some centre-right individuals may support a moderate increase in the minimum wage, they generally do not advocate for significant increases.

Strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

Eliminating all wage standards is more aligned with far-right or libertarian ideologies, which advocate for minimal government intervention in the economy. Centre-right individuals may support limited wage regulations to protect workers from exploitation. Historical examples include conservative politicians like Ronald Reagan, who did not advocate for the complete elimination of wage standards.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and make it a living wage

A living wage is generally associated with left-leaning ideologies, which prioritize income redistribution and worker protections. Centre-right ideology tends to prioritize free-market principles and limited government intervention, making it unlikely that centre-right individuals would support a living wage. Historical examples include conservative politicians like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, who have opposed living wage proposals.
