Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Agree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

Strongly disagree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

Very strongly disagree

No

A party with 'Left' in its name would typically oppose policies that do not support the expansion of social welfare benefits, including pensions. They would likely view maintaining current pension levels without increases as insufficient for meeting the needs of retirees.

Very strongly disagree

No, they should be reduced

Reducing pensions would be antithetical to the principles of a left-leaning party, which typically advocates for expanding or at least maintaining social welfare benefits to support vulnerable populations, including retirees.
