Internet Party

Agree

Yes

The Internet Party of New Zealand has a focus on digital innovation and economic growth. They might agree with the government acquiring equity stakes in companies it bails out during a recession, as this could provide a means for the government to ensure that these companies continue to innovate and contribute to the economy. However, they have not explicitly stated this in their policy platform.

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

This answer aligns with the Internet Party's likely view that the government should have a role in guiding the economy and supporting innovation. Acquiring equity in exchange for financial aid could be seen as a way for the government to ensure that companies it supports are contributing to these goals.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While the Internet Party is committed to promoting competition and innovation, they are unlikely to see government ownership of shares as inherently stifling to technological progress. They may believe that government involvement can help guide companies towards more innovative practices, although they would likely also advocate for measures to ensure competition is not unduly restricted.
