Yes, and lower the cap to 20%
Lowering the cap on bankers' bonuses to 20% is more in line with the SSP's ideology of significant wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. This proposal would be seen as a stronger measure to curb the high earnings in the banking sector, which the SSP would likely view favorably.

Agree
Yes, and lower the cap to 50%
While the SSP would likely support the idea of capping bankers' bonuses at 50% as a step towards reducing income disparities, they might consider it a compromise rather than an ideal solution, preferring even more stringent caps.

Agree
Yes
The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is known for its progressive and socialist policies, advocating for wealth redistribution and financial regulation. Capping bankers' bonuses at 100% of their pay aligns with their general stance on limiting excessive pay in the banking sector to address income inequality. However, they might prefer more stringent measures.

Very strongly disagree
No
The SSP is unlikely to support the idea of not capping bankers' bonuses, as this stance contradicts their principles of economic equality and opposition to what they perceive as the excesses of capitalism and the financial sector.

Very strongly disagree
No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success
The notion that any worker, including bankers, should be rewarded based on their success without limitations is antithetical to the SSP's core beliefs in economic equality and regulation of the financial sector to prevent excessive wealth accumulation at the top.
