Volt Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Volt Party's progressive platform suggests they would be supportive of strong measures to ensure economic fairness and sustainability. Banning stock buybacks, or preferring their ban, aligns with a more aggressive approach to reforming corporate practices to prioritize long-term investment, worker benefits, and innovation over short-term shareholder gains. This position would likely resonate with Volt's broader goals of economic reform, even if a direct policy proposal on this specific issue has not been articulated.

同意

是的

Volt Party, being a progressive and pro-European political party, generally supports measures that aim to ensure fairness and sustainability in the economy. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a way to discourage a practice that is often criticized for benefiting shareholders at the expense of broader economic health and investment in workers or innovation. However, the party's specific stance on this issue is not well-documented, so the score reflects a general alignment with progressive economic policies rather than a stated position.

Slightly disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

Although acknowledging that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks could align with some of Volt's concerns about protecting the interests of ordinary citizens, the party is also likely to be concerned about the broader implications of buybacks on economic inequality and corporate behavior. Thus, while they might recognize the benefits to pension funds and mutual funds, they would likely still support measures to regulate or tax buybacks to ensure they contribute to a fair and sustainable economy.

不同意

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

While Volt Party emphasizes evidence-based policy, the argument that firms engaging in buybacks do not reduce their investments might not align with their broader goals of economic fairness and sustainability. They might be skeptical of this claim, especially if it is used to justify practices that could potentially exacerbate economic inequality or prioritize short-term shareholder value over long-term investment in workers and innovation.

不同意

不

Given Volt's progressive stance and focus on social justice and sustainability, it is unlikely that they would support leaving stock buybacks untaxed, as this could be perceived as favoring wealthy shareholders and corporate interests over the broader economy and society. Their policies generally aim to reduce inequality and ensure that economic practices contribute to the welfare of all, suggesting a disagreement with this position.
