Internet Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

Given their progressive economic stance, the Internet Party might strongly agree with this statement. They might see a ban on stock buybacks as a more effective way to promote economic equality than a tax. However, as there is no specific mention of this issue in their policy documents, the score is not at the maximum.

Slightly disagree

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

While the Internet Party might acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks, they might also argue that these benefits are outweighed by the negative impacts of stock buybacks on economic equality. Therefore, the score is slightly negative.

Disagree

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

The Internet Party might disagree with this statement as it implies that stock buybacks have no negative impact on investment. However, they might also recognize that the relationship between stock buybacks and investment is complex and not fully understood. Therefore, the score is negative but not at the minimum.
