They have one in Canada and I find them problematic and they systematically lean towards leftist or socialist policies. "Should we provide more services for XXX?" "Should we invest more in XXX?" "Should we pay for all student costs for XXX?" Is a really common refrain on these questionnaires, and the problem is, we all have an instinct towards 'wanting more stuff' even for the benefit of others. The entire issue revolves around 'how to pay for' and 'the cost / efficiently' of such things - not whether or not we want them. Who doesn't want free stuff? I watched a young woman in Instagram take the Canadian test and her 'political views' boil down to 'all the stuff should be free, we should invest unlimited amounts in the environment, and we should have UBI that's higher than current minimum wage'. I don't think this is a 'political view' rather, it's a undeveloped opinion based on the 'easy first order instinct' of wanting free stuff because that's what the question was asking. If they paired every question the cost, such as: "Free tuition for students, will be paid for by increasing average working years by 4 years, or taxes by 3% over entire working life" "UBI policy, which will be paid for by 10% tax in increase on all citizens and/or increasing retirement age by 5 years" "$10/day subsidized child care, paid for by 5% tax increase" There are also innumerable issues that will be hard to fathom for the general population, like National Defence Procurement, Pension system etc.. I think we should be very careful about how we create these policy guides, they need more thought. The one thing I will say about Germans is however, they have the 'cost' instinct, without fail it seems as though every political survey shows the 'cost' of something or the other being a primary concern or consideration. I never see that in Canada. Perhaps we should make it normative that every political program announcement has to be accompanied by the cost estimation and payment mechanism. etc..
