No, the government should focus on preventing monopolies and cartels instead

Slightly agree

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

While Volt Party would likely support transparency in pricing, suggesting some agreement with the idea that costs should be clearly communicated, they would probably argue that this alone is insufficient. They would likely advocate for stronger measures to ensure consumer protection and might view clear communication as a basic requirement rather than a comprehensive solution.

Disagree

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

While Volt Party might recognize the potential for businesses to raise prices if surcharges are banned, their overall commitment to consumer protection and transparency likely means they would view this as an insufficient reason to avoid regulation. They might argue for comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of high prices rather than avoiding regulation of surcharges.
