Agree

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

This answer aligns with UKIP's general stance on free markets and minimal regulation, suggesting that transparency rather than outright bans could be a preferable approach to handling surcharges, as long as consumers are fully informed.

Agree

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

UKIP might agree with this statement as it aligns with the economic principle that businesses will adjust their pricing models to maintain profitability if certain revenue streams are regulated or eliminated, a perspective that fits within their broader economic policies.

Slightly agree

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

While UKIP has advocated for free market policies, their focus has been more on national sovereignty and immigration rather than detailed economic policies like preventing monopolies and cartels. However, they might see the prevention of monopolies as a component of a healthy free market.

Disagree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

Although the idea of including all costs in the final purchase price might appeal to consumers, UKIP's general preference for minimal government intervention and regulation in business practices likely means they would not strongly support such a mandate.
