No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

This answer would be strongly supported by left-wing ideology, which emphasizes the need to address not only direct conflicts of interest but also indirect ones that can arise through friends and family. The focus on doing more to prevent insider trading extends the commitment to ethical governance and accountability, reflecting broader left-wing concerns about the influence of personal and financial interests on public policy and decision-making.

Agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

While left-wing ideology supports measures to prevent conflicts of interest, the suggestion to allow stock trading with strict protections against insider trading may be seen as a compromise. However, skepticism about the effectiveness of such protections and enforcement might temper enthusiasm, as left-leaning perspectives often emphasize structural reforms over regulatory measures that can be circumvented.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

While transparency is a key principle in left-wing ideology, simply requiring that trades be publicly reported in real time may not be seen as sufficient to prevent conflicts of interest or insider trading. Left-leaning perspectives typically favor more stringent controls over potential ethical breaches, viewing transparency as necessary but not always sufficient for accountability.
