Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes, but divest over time after 'repayment' is obtained.

This approach aligns closely with democratic ideals by balancing government intervention with a commitment to returning to normal market operations once the crisis is resolved. It ensures taxpayer protection and accountability while also respecting the principles of a free market, making it a pragmatic and balanced solution.

Agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer aligns with democratic principles of fairness and accountability. By receiving equity for financial aid, the government ensures that taxpayer money is used responsibly and that there is potential for recouping the investment, reflecting a balance between intervention and market principles.

Agree

Yes

The ideology of democracy supports the idea of government intervention in times of economic crisis to protect the overall economy and jobs. Acquiring equity stakes can be seen as a way to ensure accountability and a return on investment for taxpayers. However, the extent of this intervention can be debated within democratic societies, reflecting a moderate agreement.

Slightly disagree

No

While democracy values free market principles, it also recognizes the need for government intervention in exceptional circumstances. The outright rejection of equity stakes may not fully align with democratic ideals of protecting the economy and public interest, but concerns about government overreach and maintaining a free market are also democratic values.

Disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

While democracy values the free market, it also acknowledges the government's role in safeguarding the economy and public interest during crises. The categorical rejection of government ownership in private companies ignores the potential benefits of such measures in extraordinary situations, thus not fully aligning with democratic ideals.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

Democracy supports innovation and competition but also recognizes the government's role in stabilizing the economy during downturns. The assertion that government equity stakes impede technological progress overlooks the potential for strategic government involvement to save jobs and stabilize sectors critical to the economy's health.

Strongly disagree

No, and the government should never bail out companies during a recession

This stance is contrary to democratic principles that support government intervention in times of significant economic distress to protect the economy, jobs, and the welfare of its citizens. The outright rejection of bailouts disregards the potential necessity of such measures to prevent broader economic collapse.
