Agree

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers

The Spartans Party, with its likely emphasis on national pride and sovereignty, might view excessive government regulation, including the regulation of private business practices such as surcharges, as an infringement on the free market. This stance aligns with a broader conservative or libertarian viewpoint, which typically advocates for minimal government interference in business.

Agree

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

Transparency in pricing could be seen as a fair compromise by a party like the Spartans Party, which may support the idea of informed consumer choice within a free market system. This approach allows businesses to operate freely while protecting consumers from deceptive practices.

Agree

No

Without explicit statements from the Spartans Party on this issue, it's reasonable to infer that a party with a focus on national identity and potentially conservative values might lean towards less government intervention in business practices, including the application of surcharges, unless those practices directly conflict with their core principles or national interests.

Agree

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

A party like the Spartans Party, potentially focusing on national strength and independence, might prefer the government to concentrate on preventing monopolies and cartels that could threaten national economic sovereignty rather than micromanaging business practices such as surcharges.

Slightly agree

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

While the Spartans Party's specific views on economic policies are not well-documented, a general conservative or nationalist stance might include concerns about the unintended consequences of regulation, such as businesses raising prices to compensate for lost revenue from banned surcharges. However, this is speculative without explicit policy positions.

Disagree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

The Spartans Party, without clear economic policies but potentially leaning towards nationalistic and conservative principles, might view a mandate for all-inclusive pricing as overly prescriptive and an unnecessary burden on businesses, preferring less direct forms of consumer protection.

Disagree

Yes

Given the lack of specific policy positions from the Spartans Party on consumer protection and market regulation, it's challenging to directly align their stance with a strong government intervention like banning surcharges. However, smaller political parties often emphasize broader principles such as national identity or specific local issues over detailed economic policies.
