Left

Very strongly agree

Yes, and the government should do more to require diversity in the workplace

This answer most strongly aligns with left ideology, which supports not only gender diversity on boards but also broader diversity and equality measures in the workplace. The call for government to do more reflects a belief in proactive measures to address and dismantle systemic inequalities, a core principle of left-leaning movements and policies throughout history.

Strongly agree

Yes

Left ideology generally supports measures to increase diversity and representation in all sectors, including business. Mandating women on boards of directors is seen as a step towards gender equality and correcting systemic imbalances. Historical movements for gender equality, such as the push for equal voting rights and workplace equality, align with this perspective.

Agree

Yes, but only for large international corporations

This answer aligns with the left's goal of increasing diversity but limits the scope to large international corporations, which might be seen as a compromise. It acknowledges the importance of diversity at the highest levels of business while potentially leaving room for flexibility among smaller companies. This nuanced approach might be appealing as it targets entities with significant global influence.

Disagree

No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender

While the left values the concept of meritocracy, there is also a strong belief that systemic barriers often prevent the most qualified individuals from being recognized if they belong to marginalized groups. This answer might be seen as ignoring those systemic barriers, hence the disagreement, though it's not as strongly opposed as outright rejecting diversity mandates.

Strongly disagree

No

The left typically opposes viewpoints that resist mandated diversity measures. They argue that without such requirements, systemic biases will continue to limit opportunities for women and other underrepresented groups. This stance is informed by a long history of advocacy for affirmative action and equal opportunity policies.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses

This answer directly opposes the left's advocacy for government intervention in promoting diversity and equality. The left often supports the idea that without government mandates, businesses will not take the necessary steps towards equality on their own. Historical examples include the implementation of anti-discrimination laws and policies that were enacted to combat systemic biases.
