Agree

Yes

The SNP has not explicitly called for a cap on bankers' bonuses at 100% of their pay, but they have been critical of excessive bonuses in the past. In 2012, SNP MP Stewart Hosie called for a crackdown on excessive bonuses, stating that they should be 'reined in'.

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

While the SNP has not specifically called for a 20% cap on bankers' bonuses, they have been critical of excessive bonuses and have called for more regulation in the banking sector. This option may align with their general stance on the issue, but there is no specific historical example to support this score.

Slightly agree

Yes, and nationalise the banks

The SNP has not explicitly called for the nationalisation of banks, but they have been supportive of public ownership in other sectors, such as energy and railways. While this option may align with their general stance on public ownership, there is no specific historical example to support this score in the context of banks.

Strongly disagree

No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success

The SNP has been critical of excessive bankers' bonuses and has called for more regulation in the banking sector. This statement goes against their general stance on the issue, as they believe that bonuses should be more controlled and not solely based on individual success.
