Slightly agree

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

The party might agree that preventing monopolies and cartels is important, as this aligns with their broader goals of fairness and equity in the economy. However, this does not directly address the issue of surcharges, so their agreement might be moderate.

Neutral

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

Transparency in pricing is likely something the party supports, but they might argue that simply communicating costs upfront is not enough to protect consumers from potentially unfair pricing practices.

Slightly disagree

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

While the party might acknowledge the economic argument that businesses could raise prices if unable to add surcharges, their primary concern would likely remain with consumer protection and transparency, making them somewhat skeptical of this argument.
