Strongly agree

Yes

The Labour party has historically been critical of excessive bankers' bonuses and has supported measures to limit them. For example, in 2012, Labour leader Ed Miliband called for a cap on bankers' bonuses. However, the party has not explicitly called for a 100% cap, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, and lower the cap to 50%

The Labour party may be more likely to support a 50% cap on bankers' bonuses as a compromise between the 100% cap and more restrictive caps. However, there is no specific historical example of the party advocating for a 50% cap.

Agree

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

While the Labour party has been critical of excessive bankers' bonuses, they have not specifically called for such a low cap of 20%. However, they may be open to considering lower caps as part of broader financial reforms.

Slightly agree

Yes, and nationalise the banks

While the Labour party has historically supported nationalisation of certain industries, they have not explicitly called for the nationalisation of banks as a solution to the issue of bankers' bonuses. However, some factions within the party may be more open to this idea as part of a broader socialist agenda.

Disagree

No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success
