ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

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

This aligns closely with the party's advocacy for consumer rights and transparency. Including all costs in the final purchase price would be seen as a direct way to protect consumers from hidden fees and unexpected costs, which is in line with their principles.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Historical Pact Party, with its progressive and leftist orientation, generally supports policies that protect consumers and promote transparency in pricing. Banning surcharges could be seen as a way to achieve these goals, making costs clearer and more predictable for consumers.

Agree

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

Although preventing monopolies and cartels aligns with the party's broader economic policies for fair competition and consumer protection, this does not directly address the issue of surcharges. The party would likely support this as part of a broader strategy but still favor direct action on surcharges.

Disagree

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

Transparency is important, but the Historical Pact Party would likely argue that simply making costs clear is not enough to protect consumers from potentially exploitative practices, preferring more proactive measures.

Disagree

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

While the party might recognize the economic argument that businesses could raise prices if unable to add surcharges, their primary concern would likely be with ensuring transparency and fairness, suggesting a disagreement with this stance.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the party's stance on consumer protection and opposition to hidden fees that disproportionately affect the working class, it is unlikely they would support the unrestricted imposition of surcharges by businesses.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Historical Pact Party's progressive platform typically favors regulation to protect consumers from unfair practices, making it highly unlikely they would agree with a laissez-faire approach to business practices that can harm consumers.
