Summary
A survey by the High Pay Centre found that 55% of respondents support capping CEO pay to maintain a fair balance between workers and bosses.
The thinktank also recommends giving workers the right to vote on company boards and increasing transparency about top pay.
The UK government is under pressure to address income inequality, which has grown by 1.3% in 2022, with the poorest 20% experiencing a 3.4% reduction in disposable income while the richest 20% saw a 3.3% increase.
There’s a big difference between wanting something and doing something about it. Even if 90% of Britons wanted to cap CEO pay, if they vote for parties that don’t legislate that or don’t show up to the polls, it won’t happen.
We have two parties and the one with the highest chance to do this is in power cureently
The UK has more than that. 13 according to wikipedia.
To be clear, yes we have more political parties but they don’t have a hope in hell to get in and have any power unless it’s in a coalition with either labor or the conservatives. They may gain seats in the commons but very little political sway.
We have the same FPTP 2 party issue as the US.
