Fiscal space is the supposed capacity that a government has to increase spending without risking breaking its own fiscal rules or fiscal choices.
Since all fiscal rules are actually fiscal choices and are not in any way binding the argument that there is fiscal space is almost meaningless.
Fiscal space simply means the amount that a Chancellor thinks he or she might spend without threatening their own credibility. Within the actual economy the term is meaningless.
