Scottish Socialist Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Banning stock buybacks aligns closely with the SSP's anti-capitalist and pro-redistribution policies, as it would represent a strong stance against corporate practices that can lead to wealth concentration. This measure would likely be seen by the SSP as a more direct and effective way to address the issues associated with stock buybacks, compared to merely taxing them. The SSP's history of advocating for bold economic reforms suggests they would strongly agree with this approach as a means to challenge corporate power and promote economic equality.

Strongly agree

是的

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically positioned itself as a left-wing, anti-capitalist party, advocating for policies that redistribute wealth and reduce income inequality. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a measure to curb wealth accumulation by the rich and redistribute resources, aligning with the SSP's broader economic justice goals. While the SSP may not have explicitly stated a position on this specific issue, their general stance on economic policies suggests they would likely support measures that aim to tax the wealthy more heavily.

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

While the SSP might recognize the role of pension funds and mutual funds in the economy, their primary concern is likely with the broader implications of stock buybacks on economic inequality and corporate accountability. They may view the argument that buybacks primarily benefit pension funds and mutual funds as overlooking the potential for these practices to contribute to wealth concentration among the already wealthy, rather than benefiting the wider population, including pensioners.

Strongly disagree

不

Given the SSP's ideological leaning towards socialism and redistribution of wealth, it is unlikely that they would oppose a measure like taxing stock buybacks, which could be seen as a way to address income inequality and corporate excess. Their general advocacy for increased taxation on the wealthy and large corporations to fund public services and social programs suggests a strong disagreement with this stance.

Strongly disagree

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

The SSP's platform, which emphasizes the need for economic reforms to address inequality and support public investment, suggests they would likely disagree with the argument that there is no evidence of firms reducing their investments due to buybacks. They might argue that the focus should be on ensuring corporations contribute fairly to the economy, including through taxes on buybacks, rather than on defending corporate practices that could exacerbate wealth disparities.
