Agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

Agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Supporting low-income pensioners could be seen as a targeted, fiscally responsible approach that aligns with the CLP's values of supporting individuals who are most in need, while also managing government spending efficiently.

Slightly agree

No

Given their conservative stance, the CLP might lean towards maintaining current pension levels to ensure fiscal responsibility and sustainability of the pension system, unless there's a clear, compelling financial rationale for an increase.

Slightly agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pensions yearly for the cost of living could be seen as a reasonable and fiscally responsible approach that ensures pensioners maintain their purchasing power without committing to large, upfront increases in pension payments. This aligns somewhat with conservative principles of prudent financial management.

Neutral

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

This position might resonate with some fiscal conservatives within the CLP who seek to distinguish between the pensions of regular government workers and politicians. However, it could also be seen as divisive or politically challenging to implement, leading to a neutral stance.

Disagree

Yes

The Country Liberal Party (CLP), being a conservative party, typically focuses on fiscal responsibility and might be cautious about broad increases in government spending, including pension payments. However, they do recognize the importance of supporting retirees, so the disagreement might not be strong.

Disagree

No, they should be reduced
