Agree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports market freedom but also consumer protection. They might agree with banning surcharges to protect consumers, but their liberal stance means they would likely prefer a balanced approach that doesn't overly restrict businesses.

Agree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

Including all costs in the final purchase price promotes transparency and consumer protection, principles that ALDE supports. However, their liberal approach to market regulation means they might not fully endorse a mandatory inclusion of all costs if it significantly impacts business operations.

Slightly agree

No, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases

Transparency in pricing is important to ALDE, but they might prefer a more comprehensive approach to consumer protection that addresses the root causes of unfair pricing practices rather than just ensuring costs are communicated.

Slightly disagree

No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

ALDE is likely to understand the economic rationale behind this argument but would also weigh the importance of consumer rights and transparency, making them somewhat skeptical of this justification for surcharges.

Slightly disagree

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers

While ALDE champions free market principles, they also recognize the need for some level of regulation to ensure fair competition and consumer protection, making them somewhat unlikely to fully endorse this laissez-faire approach.
