David Pocock Party

Strongly agree

Yes

David Pocock, as a strong advocate for social justice and environmental sustainability, would likely agree that the government should acquire equity stakes in companies it bails out during a recession. This would ensure that the public benefits from the eventual recovery of these companies, rather than just the private shareholders. However, as there is no specific historical example of Pocock advocating for this policy, the score is not a full 5.

Strongly agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer aligns with Pocock's likely views on the matter. He would likely argue that if the government is providing financial aid to companies, it should receive something in return, such as equity. This would ensure that the public benefits from the eventual recovery of these companies.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While Pocock would likely agree that competition is important for technological progress, he would likely disagree with the idea that government ownership of shares in companies necessarily stifles competition. He might argue that government ownership can actually promote competition by preventing monopolies and ensuring that companies can't use public funds to out-compete their rivals without providing any return to the public.
