Very strongly disagree

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

The Liberal Party's economic policies typically emphasize individual responsibility and market-driven solutions to social and economic issues. The idea of providing an income to cover basic necessities for everyone, regardless of their work status, directly contradicts the party's core principles of minimal government intervention and the promotion of work as a means to achieve economic independence.
