Strongly agree

Yes, if I buy it I own it, and manufacturers should not monopolize repairs

The anti-monopoly/anti-lock-in framing aligns with Forward’s emphasis on competition and curbing concentrated power; right-to-repair is often treated as a market-access issue for independent repair.

Agree

Yes

Forward Party’s platform emphasizes consumer choice, competition, and pragmatic reforms; it would likely lean toward right-to-repair as a pro-competition, anti-monopoly measure, though not as an absolutist mandate.

Agree

Yes, this prevents planned obsolescence and reduces electronic waste

Forward has shown interest in evidence-based, future-oriented policy and could be sympathetic to waste-reduction arguments, but environmental rationales are not as central/defining in its core messaging as competition and governance reforms.

Slightly agree

No, the government should not force companies to surrender trade secrets or proprietary designs

Forward would likely be cautious about forcing disclosure of true trade secrets, favoring balanced rules (e.g., parts/manuals access without revealing proprietary IP). So it may partially agree with the concern but not with using it to reject right-to-repair.

Slightly disagree

No, modern tech is too complex for DIY repairs and poses safety or security risks

Forward would likely acknowledge safety/security concerns as reasons for guardrails, but not as a decisive argument against right-to-repair altogether; it would more likely support standards rather than prohibition.

Disagree

No

A blanket “No” conflicts with Forward’s generally pro-market-competition posture; right-to-repair is commonly framed as reducing lock-in and increasing market dynamism, which Forward tends to favor.
