Dear Supporter,
The fast-approaching 2024 General Election means you may be approached by candidates asking for your #1 vote. We have complied some questions you can ask politicians who are canvassing:
You can see all possible questions to ask in our blog here.
Some examples of the questions from the blog include:
Tackling Inequality by Taxing the Super Rich and Windfall Profits.
Questions: Do you support a tax on wealth to fight inequality and fund public services? More Info: The EU’s five richest billionaires have increased their wealth by 76% since 2020, while 99% of the EU’s population has become poorer. Oxfam suggests a wealth tax could yield over €4 billion a year.
Climate Justice
Question: Will you tax wealthy polluters, especially luxury consumption like private jets and superyachts? More Info: The world’s richest billionaires produce more carbon in an hour and a half than the average person does in a lifetime. Oxfam calls for taxes on polluting activities to fund climate justice.
These questions have been pulled together from our Oxfam Ireland General Election Manifesto linked below. |
