Question

What do most left-wing voters generally tend to believe? Select three correct options

Answer 1

The three correct answers are:

1. The government may need to have a broad role within society. Left-wing voters generally tend to believe in a greater involvement of the government in various aspects of the citizens' lives. These include the market, healthcare, education, income, the environment, and, indeed, societal relations. An example of a broad role of government within society would be its involvement in religion (should it pay pastors' salaries, for church renovations, etc.).
2. Federal regulation can protect citizens from corporate greed. Federal regulation means that the government steps in to impose rules on the quality standards of some goods and services. The goal is to protect consumers from acts of "corporate greed" such as pharmaceutical companies producing unsafe drugs and selling them to people for profit. This is an example of government intervention in people's lives, and is therefore likely to be supported by left-wing voters.
3. Social Security and other programs have helped improve society. Social Security is an example of government intervention in the field of welfare, more precisely healthcare and income. It consists in handing out money to support people in need, such as widows, disabled people, and the elderly. Social Security helps many retirees stay out of poverty, this is why left-wing voters are likely to believe it helps improve society.
