LabelRedistribution of wealth: Con view
Question text Please look at this card. Some people feel that government should make much greater efforts to make people's incomes more equal. These people would put themselves in Box A. Other people feel that government should be much less concerned about how equal people's incomes are. These people would put themselves in Box K. And other people have views somewhere in-between, along here (POINT LEFT A-F) or along here (POINT RIGHT K-F). Now where do you think the Conservative and Labour Parties stand? First the Conservative Party. In the next row of boxes, please tick whichever box you think comes closest to the views of the Conservative Party.
