Independents 4 Change Party

Strongly agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer aligns closely with Independents 4 Change's principles of ensuring that public investments are made with the public's interest at heart. By receiving equity for financial aid, the government can secure a return on its investment, which can then be used for public benefit. This approach would likely be seen as a responsible use of public funds, aligning with the party's values.

Agree

Yes

Independents 4 Change has historically focused on accountability, transparency, and ensuring that public resources are used for the common good. Acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession could align with these principles by ensuring public investment leads to public benefit. However, their specific stance on government equity in private companies is not well-documented, leading to a moderately positive score.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While Independents 4 Change is likely to be concerned about any factors that could stifle competition or technological progress, their primary focus on accountability and the public good means they would probably view the potential stifling of competition as a necessary trade-off in some cases, especially if government intervention is crucial for saving jobs or ensuring economic stability.

Disagree

No

Given their emphasis on public accountability and the efficient use of public funds, Independents 4 Change is unlikely to support a blanket policy against the government acquiring equity stakes in companies it bails out. They would likely view such a stance as potentially wasteful of public resources if the government had no way to recoup its investments.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Independents 4 Change's focus on the responsible and beneficial use of public resources suggests they would oppose a categorical stance against government ownership in private companies, especially in contexts where such ownership could protect jobs, ensure the continuation of essential services, or provide a return on public investment.
