Identity and Democracy Party

Strongly agree

No

Given their pro-business stance and emphasis on reducing regulatory burdens, the Identity and Democracy Party would likely oppose additional taxes on corporate activities such as stock buybacks, viewing them as a means for companies to return value to shareholders and invest in their own growth.

Agree

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

The argument that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks could resonate with the Identity and Democracy Party's broader economic views, which might include support for mechanisms that can potentially enhance the wealth of ordinary citizens through investments.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the party's likely belief in the efficiency of the free market and the idea that companies should have the freedom to manage their finances as they see fit, including engaging in stock buybacks without being penalized through taxation.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Identity and Democracy Party, being a right-wing, nationalist, and eurosceptic political group in the European Parliament, generally favors less regulation and lower taxes on businesses. They are likely to view taxation on stock buybacks as an unnecessary burden on companies, potentially stifling economic growth and investment.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Banning stock buybacks would represent a significant regulatory intervention in the market, which is contrary to the Identity and Democracy Party's general philosophy of less regulation and more market freedom. They would likely strongly disagree with this approach, viewing it as harmful to economic growth and innovation.
