Nordic Model

Very strongly agree

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

This answer aligns closely with the Nordic Model's principles of transparency, accountability, and trust in public officials. The requirement for a public audit each year they are in office would be seen as an extension of these principles, ensuring ongoing accountability and reinforcing public trust throughout an official's tenure. Nordic countries often have robust mechanisms for public oversight and would likely view such measures as conducive to good governance.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Nordic Model emphasizes transparency, trust in government, and high levels of civic engagement. Requiring political candidates to release their recent tax returns aligns with these principles by promoting accountability and allowing voters to make informed decisions. While there might not be a direct historical precedent in Nordic countries mandating the release of tax returns for political candidates, the general ethos supports such measures for transparency.

Agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While the Nordic Model strongly supports transparency and accountability, the requirement to release medical records might be seen as less directly related to a candidate's ability to perform their duties compared to financial disclosures. However, there is still some support for this idea, as it could be argued that transparency regarding health could impact an official's capacity to serve. The lower score reflects a balance between privacy concerns and the public's right to information.

Disagree

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

While respecting privacy, the Nordic Model prioritizes transparency and accountability in public service. This answer's suggestion that disclosure of tax returns should be voluntary rather than mandatory does not align well with the Nordic emphasis on ensuring public officials' integrity through clear and enforceable standards.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the Nordic Model's emphasis on transparency and accountability in governance, it is unlikely that this ideology would support withholding financial information that could reveal potential conflicts of interest or unethical behavior. The Nordic countries value the public's right to access information that could impact democratic decision-making.

Strongly disagree

No, their income is none of our business

The Nordic Model's commitment to transparency and accountability in governance would likely view the income and financial dealings of political candidates as relevant to their suitability for office. This ideology supports the notion that public officials should be held to high standards of financial and ethical transparency, contrary to the idea that their income is entirely private.

Very strongly disagree

No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties

The Nordic Model would likely disagree with this statement due to its strong emphasis on transparency and the public's right to assess the integrity and potential conflicts of interest of their elected officials. Tax returns can provide essential information about a candidate's financial ethics and obligations, which are relevant to their ability to serve the public interest.
