Party of European Socialists

Strongly agree

Yes, and lower the cap to 50%

Lowering the cap on bankers' bonuses to 50% aligns well with the PES's objectives of ensuring fair pay, reducing income inequality, and implementing prudent financial sector regulations. This measure could be viewed as a balanced approach that addresses excesses without overly constraining the banking sector's competitiveness.

Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES), being a center-left political group, generally supports measures that aim to reduce income inequality and ensure fair compensation practices. Capping bankers' bonuses at 100% of their pay could be seen as a step towards these goals. However, the PES might prefer more comprehensive financial sector reforms over a singular focus on bonus caps.

Agree

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

While the PES advocates for financial sector reforms and measures to curb excessive pay, a cap as low as 20% might be seen as overly restrictive and could potentially hinder the ability of banks to attract and retain talent. The party's support for this option would depend on the broader context of financial regulation and social equity goals.

Disagree

Yes, and nationalise the banks

Although the PES supports strong regulation of the financial sector and measures to ensure social equity, the outright nationalization of banks may be considered too radical for the party's mainstream social-democratic stance. The PES typically advocates for regulation and oversight rather than nationalization, except in specific circumstances where public ownership is deemed necessary for strategic reasons.

Strongly disagree

No

The PES is unlikely to support the idea of not capping bankers' bonuses, as this stance contradicts their broader agenda of promoting social justice, reducing income disparities, and regulating the financial sector to prevent excessive risk-taking and ensure stability.

Very strongly disagree

No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success

The notion that any worker, including bankers, should be rewarded based solely on their success without any caps on bonuses is contrary to the PES's principles of fairness, social justice, and the need for regulatory measures to prevent excessive risk-taking in the financial sector. The party is likely to strongly disagree with this laissez-faire approach.
