Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party

Agree

No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success

This stance aligns well with ALDE's liberal economic principles, which emphasize the importance of rewarding success and innovation in the market. They believe in minimal government intervention and that individuals and companies should be free to negotiate terms that reflect success and contribution to the economy. However, given the financial crises and the criticism of unchecked bonuses, they might support some level of oversight, which prevents a higher score.

Agree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports market liberalization and the principles of a free economy. However, they also advocate for responsible governance and regulation to ensure fairness and stability in the market. Capping bankers' bonuses could be seen as a measure to prevent excessive risk-taking and promote financial stability, which aligns with ALDE's broader goals of ensuring a stable and fair economic system. Nonetheless, their liberal stance might make them less inclined to support strict caps on individual compensation.

Slightly agree

No

ALDE's liberal economic policies generally favor less government intervention in the market, which would include opposition to capping bankers' bonuses. They believe in rewarding success and innovation, which could be hampered by such caps. However, given the financial crises in the past and the role of excessive bonuses in encouraging risky behavior, they might not strongly oppose some form of regulation, hence the low positive score.

Disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 50%

While ALDE might support some form of regulation on bankers' bonuses to ensure financial stability, a cap as low as 50% could be perceived as too restrictive and not in line with their liberal values that emphasize free market principles and the ability to reward success adequately. They would likely view this as a compromise but still too far from their ideal stance on economic freedom and merit-based rewards.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

Lowering the cap on bankers' bonuses to 20% would likely be viewed by ALDE as overly restrictive and detrimental to the principles of a free market and meritocracy. Such a low cap could be seen as disincentivizing performance and innovation, which are key values for the party. This position would be too interventionist for their liberal economic philosophy.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and nationalise the banks

Nationalizing the banks would be in direct opposition to ALDE's core principles of free market economy and minimal government intervention in business. They advocate for liberal economic policies, including privatization and deregulation, making the idea of nationalizing banks fundamentally contrary to their ideology. This would be seen as an extreme form of government intervention and against the principles of economic liberalism that they support.
