Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : A few of the Labour Party's preferred villains -- such as private schools, large tech firms and energy companies -- would pay a bit more tax if Ms Reeves were to move into 11 Downing Street after the next election.
51% : In her speech Ms Reeves pledged "iron discipline" on public spending overall.
47% : But the overall shape of public spending and taxation, at least on day-to-day spending, would be remarkably similar to that planned by the current Conservative chancellor, Jeremy Hunt.
43% : In the 1992 election campaign, Labour's plans for higher public spending had been presented as a "tax bombshell"; five years later Sir Tony Blair's incoming Labour government stuck to the baseline and simply pledged to match Conservative spending plans.
