Agree

No

Neutral

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP) generally supports market-oriented economic policies and might view a cap on bankers' bonuses as an unnecessary market intervention. However, they might also see the need for some regulation in the financial sector to ensure stability, making their position more nuanced.

Disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 50%

While slightly more open to regulation than outright market freedom, the EPP would still likely view a 50% cap as too restrictive and not in line with their generally pro-business and market-oriented policies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and lower the cap to 20%

The EPP, with its market-oriented approach, would likely strongly disagree with such a drastic reduction in the cap on bankers' bonuses.

Yes, and nationalise the banks
