Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Given the Labour Party's general stance on corporate regulation and their commitment to protecting workers' rights, they may be more inclined to support a ban on stock buybacks rather than simply taxing them. However, without a specific policy statement on this issue, it's difficult to say with certainty.

Agree

Yes

The Labour Party in Ireland is a social-democratic political party that generally supports progressive taxation and regulation of corporations. While they have not specifically addressed the issue of taxing stock buybacks, their general stance on corporate taxation suggests they would likely be in favor of such a measure.

Slightly disagree

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

While the Labour Party would likely acknowledge the benefits of stock buybacks to pension funds and mutual funds, they would also likely argue that these benefits should be balanced against the potential negative impacts of buybacks on workers and the broader economy.

Disagree

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

The Labour Party generally supports measures that ensure corporations contribute their fair share to society.
