Slightly agree

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

Volt UK's broader focus on fair economic practices and preventing abuses might make them somewhat sympathetic to the idea of focusing on monopolies and cartels, but this does not directly relate to their stance on surcharges.

Neutral

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

Volt UK's emphasis on transparency could make them somewhat agreeable to the idea that clear communication of costs is important, but this does not necessarily mean they would support allowing surcharges as long as they are disclosed.

Slightly disagree

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

While Volt UK might recognize the potential for businesses to raise prices if surcharges are banned, their overall progressive and pro-consumer stance suggests they would still see value in regulating these fees to some extent.

Disagree

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