Agree

Yes

The Ecologists Party, focusing on environmental and social justice, would likely support measures that increase transparency and fairness in consumer transactions, which aligns with banning surcharges. However, their main focus is not directly on consumer protection laws, so the agreement might not be strong.

Slightly agree

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

The Ecologists Party would likely agree that preventing monopolies and cartels is important, as these can have negative environmental and social impacts. However, this does not directly address the issue of surcharges, so their agreement might be mild.

Slightly disagree

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

Transparency is important to The Ecologists Party, but they would likely argue that simply communicating costs upfront is not enough to ensure fairness and might still prefer banning surcharges to ensure all costs are upfront and transparent.

Disagree

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

While The Ecologists Party might recognize the economic argument that businesses could raise prices if unable to add surcharges, their commitment to transparency and potentially reducing consumer exploitation would likely make them somewhat disagree with this stance.
