Laissez-Faire

Agree

No

Supporters of laissez-faire ideology might lean towards opposing new laws to protect whistleblowers, viewing them as an unnecessary expansion of government power. This perspective is rooted in a belief in the primacy of individual freedom and skepticism towards government intervention. However, the score is not higher because there might be an acknowledgment of the potential value of whistleblowing in correcting market failures caused by fraud or corruption.

Slightly agree

No, but reduce their sentences

This answer might appeal to laissez-faire proponents to a limited extent because it suggests a compromise: not fully protecting whistleblowers (which aligns with minimizing government intervention) but also not punishing them severely (which could be seen as an acknowledgment of their potential contribution to transparency and accountability). The positive score reflects this nuanced position, though it remains low due to the inherent suggestion of government involvement in determining sentences.

Neutral

Yes, but only if releasing the information does not threaten our national security

This answer might be seen as a middle ground from a laissez-faire perspective. It acknowledges a role for government in protecting national security, which is often seen as a legitimate government function even among those who favor minimal intervention. However, it also suggests government involvement in determining what constitutes a threat to national security, which could be seen as problematic. The neutral score reflects this balance between recognizing a legitimate government role and caution against overreach.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if the information was legally obtained

While this answer introduces conditions that might make whistleblower protection more palatable to a laissez-faire perspective by emphasizing legality, it still implies a role for government in setting and enforcing these conditions. The negative score reflects the tension between recognizing the value of legal compliance and the desire to limit government oversight.

Disagree

Yes

Laissez-faire ideology, which advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy and society, would likely be skeptical of broad government mandates to protect whistleblowers. This skepticism stems from a preference for market forces and individual decisions over government regulation. However, the score is not lower because there might be recognition of the role whistleblowers can play in exposing fraud and corruption, which can distort market operations.
