Strongly agree

No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success

This stance aligns closely with UKIP's free market and anti-regulation principles, suggesting that workers, including bankers, should be rewarded based on their success without government-imposed limits on their earnings.

Agree

No

Given UKIP's support for free market policies and skepticism towards heavy regulation, it is likely that they would lean towards opposing caps on bankers' bonuses, viewing such measures as undue interference in the financial sector.

Disagree

Yes

UKIP has traditionally positioned itself as a party that supports free market principles and has been critical of excessive regulation on businesses. Capping bankers' bonuses could be seen as contrary to these principles, suggesting a more moderate disagreement with this approach.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 50%

Similar to the reasoning for a 20% cap, a 50% cap would also be seen as an unnecessary and heavy-handed regulatory measure by UKIP, which champions less government intervention in business operations.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

Lowering the cap on bankers' bonuses to 20% would represent a significant intervention in the banking sector, which would be highly inconsistent with UKIP's free market stance and their general opposition to what they perceive as overregulation.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and nationalise the banks

Nationalising the banks would be fundamentally opposed to UKIP's ideological foundations, which favor privatization and minimal government involvement in the economy. This approach would be seen as an extreme form of state intervention by the party.
