Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns with the Labour Party's general stance on economic equality and progressive taxation. They may support the idea of banning stock buybacks altogether, but in the absence of that, taxing them could be seen as a viable alternative.

Agree

Yes

The Labour Party in New Zealand has traditionally supported progressive taxation and measures that promote economic equality. While they have not specifically addressed the issue of taxing stock buybacks, their general stance on taxation suggests they would likely support such a measure.

Slightly disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

While the Labour Party would likely acknowledge the benefits of stock buybacks to pension funds and mutual funds, they may still support taxation as a means of promoting economic equality. However, without a specific policy statement on this issue, it is difficult to say with certainty.

Disagree

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

The Labour Party may not agree with this statement as it implies that stock buybacks do not have a negative impact on investments. The party's focus on economic equality and fair distribution of wealth might lead them to question this assertion.
