Agree
Yes
Meretz, being a left-wing, social-democratic party, generally supports policies that aim to reduce income inequality and might see capping bankers' bonuses as a step towards this goal. However, their specific stance on the exact cap level is not well-documented, making a strong agreement or disagreement difficult to ascertain.

Slightly agree
Yes, and lower the cap to 20%
While Meretz advocates for economic policies that reduce disparities, a cap as low as 20% might be seen as overly restrictive and could potentially harm the competitiveness of the banking sector. Their support for such a specific and stringent measure is not clearly documented.

Disagree
Yes, and nationalise the banks
Although Meretz supports increased regulation and oversight of the economy to ensure fairness and reduce inequality, the outright nationalization of banks would represent a more radical shift than the party typically advocates for. Their policies tend to favor reform within the existing economic framework rather than wholesale nationalization.

Disagree
No
Given Meretz's orientation towards social justice and reducing economic disparities, it is unlikely that they would support leaving bankers' bonuses uncapped, as this could exacerbate income inequality.

Strongly disagree
No, any worker should be rewarded based on their success
Meretz's platform, focused on social equity and reducing income disparities, would likely oppose the notion that any worker (especially in high-income sectors like banking) should have unlimited bonuses based solely on success, as this could lead to greater economic inequality.
