Taxation: which best describes your view?

Tax is a necessary evil to maintain the basic functions of government, but should be kept to a minimum

Tax is necessary to support the poorest and most vulnerable and to provide high-quality public services

Tax can be beneficial if directed towards valuable projects, but should not be so onerous as to distort the market or discourage innovation

Tax is neither good nor bad in itself and should be used to promote virtue and the common good

Tax should be much higher on the rich in order to support the poor and to mitigate the vast inequalities in our society

Nationalisation versus privatisation: which best describes your view?

Nationalised industries are inefficient monopolies; we should ensure private ownership and competition wherever possible

Most crucial sectors should be nationalised and free at the point of use

We should avoid nationalisation but regulation of uncompetitive sectors and publicly funded alternatives to ensure competition can be beneficial

Private ownership is generally preferable but nationalisation should be considered in the case of some key industries, particularly ones on which communities are reliant

We should nationalise key industries which are natural monopolies or which routinely exploit the consumer, such as the railways and the energy sector

Trade: which best describes your view?

The government should tactically subsidise infant industries, industries important to national security and those on which communities are reliant but otherwise should pursue a policy of free trade

There should be complete, unilateral free trade with all countries, as this is beneficial to both the poor in this country and those abroad

We should pursue free trade with other countries, subject to regulatory agreement on issues such as environmental practices and workers’ rights

We should impose tariffs on those countries that unfairly subsidise their own industries

British industry should be protected and promoted through tariffs on most imports

Unions: which best describes your view?

Private unions should be allowed to exist, subject to turn-out requirements on votes to strike; public sector unions can incapacitate the country and should be prevented from calling a strike

The right to collective bargaining, including the right to strike, must be protected; the government should work closely with public sector unions to address their concerns and ensure good working conditions

There should be no legal restrictions on private trade unions but employers should be free to sack employees who strike; public sector services ought to be largely privatised and subject to competition to reduce the power of public unions

All restrictions on unionisation must be repealed, union membership made a requirement of working in most industries and the government should contain representatives of the major unions to promote workers’ interests

The welfare state: which best describes your view?

It is necessary under the present neoliberal system, and hence should be well-funded, but it would be unnecessary in a system of state or worker-owned businesses where employees were fairly compensated for their labour

It should provide a comfortable safety net but reformed so as not to discourage work or family formation

It should be expanded to ensure that nobody is in need or is forced into unpleasant, poorly paid work

It should be reformed to a simpler, more universal form of welfare, such as a Universal Basic Income or Negative Income Tax

Brexit: which best describes your view?

Leaving the EU was a catastrophic mistake and we should seek to rejoin if possible

The EU is by its nature a neoliberal enterprise and leaving it allows us to enact pro-worker policies such as nationalisation

Leaving the EU was necessary to regain control over our borders and sovereignty over our laws

We should have sought a closer economic relationship with the EU on leaving but the greater freedom to set laws and regulations is a benefit that outweighs the costs

EU membership was greatly beneficial in terms of free movement, trade and worker and environmental protections, but we should not seek to rejoin

Leaving the EU in the way we did may have been a mistake, but there are upsides, and we should now move on from the issue

Military intervention: which best describes your view?

Military intervention by the West is an extension of imperialism that incites domestic terrorism; we should end most, if not all, of our military engagements abroad

We have an important role in maintaining the rules-based international order and preventing atrocities, so we should maintain an active presence in unstable regions and be willing to defend our allies

Foreign policy should be conducted exclusively in the national interest; we should avoid protracted entanglements and burdensome alliances

We should be wary of nation-building and prolonged engagements, but we have a duty to intervene to prevent atrocities

Defence: which best describes your view?

Our armed forces have been dangerously denuded in recent years through spending cuts; we should significantly increase spending on them

Maintaining a large military is a form of post-imperial delusion; we should defund the military and divert the money to diplomatic efforts and other worthier causes

We should maintain a large enough military budget to fulfil our international obligations and to be equipped in case of war

Some form of military is necessary, but it should be scaled back in line with a less ambitious foreign policy

Foreign aid: which best describes your view?

Foreign aid is often misspent and ineffective and creates dependency on Western nations; we would be better off helping the poor of other countries through liberalised trade and immigration

The government’s primary duty is to its own people; foreign aid should be confined at most to humanitarian relief, and there should be no set foreign aid spending commitment

Foreign aid is a fulfilment of our moral duty to other countries and has achieved much measurable good; we should, if anything, increase the foreign aid budget

We should use foreign aid strategically as a tool to extend our influence and encourage trade liberalisation in developing countries

Foreign aid is in practice a tool of soft imperialism, used to leverage poor countries into making neoliberal reforms; however, genuinely humanitarian forms of aid should remain

Abortion: which best describes your view?

The current law is broadly right; the mother’s autonomy ought to take priority until the point of viability

It is a woman’s inviolable right and should be permitted for any reason until birth

It should not be permitted for social or economic reasons and the term limit should be significantly reduced

It is one of the greatest evils in our society and should be prohibited in almost all circumstances

Transgender rights: which best describes your view?

Trans people should be able legally to identify as their preferred gender identity without hindrance and should not be discriminated against in sports or public spaces; access to treatment, including puberty blockers for children, should be readily and available and well-funded

Trans people should be able to transition medically and change their legal gender, subject to professional consultation; however, children should not be allowed to undergo medical interventions such as puberty blockers, and sports and public spaces should be segregated on the basis of biological sex

Trans adults should be able to medically transition and identify however they please; parents should generally be free to decide what is best for their children, and it should be left to businesses and organisations to determine their policy on the inclusion of trans people

Transgenderism is a mental disorder requiring treatment; there should be no government funding of gender reassignment, no legal recognition of non-biological gender identities, and any services offering transition treatments to children should be shut down

Marriage and the family: which best describes your view?

A married family with children is no better inherently than any other kind; the government has no business dictating people’s private lives

Marriage and children may be good, but it would be unwise for the state to meddle in family life

Family breakdown and low fertility rates are a disaster; the government should strongly promote marriage and family formation through the tax and welfare systems, while restricting divorce

Rather than discriminating against certain families, we should ensure that all children have a comfortable upbringing whatever their background, and provide well-paid jobs that allow people to raise families

Pornography: which best describes your view?

Provided that it involves consenting adults, it is morally unproblematic and should be legally available

It is deeply damaging both to the consumer and those involved in the industry; it should be heavily restricted, if not outright banned, in all forms

Mainstream, commercialised porn is misogynistic and exploitative; the government should act to empower individuals, ethical porn producers and unionised sex workers

While porn can be damaging, the dangers of censoring the internet or forcing the industry underground are greater

It is often damaging and there should be greater efforts to limit its access by minors, to shut down sites hosting non-consensual material and to restrict extreme content

Freedom of speech and expression: which best describes your view?

As long as it does not incite violence, endanger national security or defame someone, speech should be unrestricted; hate speech laws should be repealed

We should be free to express our political and religious views, however offensive, but there ought to be restrictions on obscene or blasphemous content that lacks artistic merit

It is immensely valuable when used to challenge authority, but we should not allow people to stir up hatred against minorities

The current law is about right; diversity of opinion must be protected, but it should be balanced against goods such as social harmony and national security

Crime and justice: which best describes your view?

Non-violent criminals should receive non-custodial sentences and more serious criminals who have reformed should be offered the opportunity of parole; prisons should make greater efforts to re-integrate criminals into society

Sentences should be longer and more consistently imposed for most categories of crime, with the option of the death penalty for the worst crimes

Prison is generally cruel and ineffective; we should focus far more on rehabilitation and preventing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and mental illness

There should be more of a focus on the detection and prevention of crime than on the severity of sentencing, with consistent but shorter sentences imposed on non-violent criminals; however, sex offenders and murderers should be kept away from society

Drugs: which best describes your view?

The war on drugs is illiberal and has been a failure; creating a legal, regulated market for most, if not all, drugs would eliminate many of the harms and cripple the black market

We should decriminalise drug use, funding treatment programs for addicts instead of punishing them, while continuing to criminalise supply

There has been no concerted effort to control drug use; we should step up penalties against both possession and supply

A tightly regulated market should be established for softer drugs, with harm reduction measures such as addiction maintenance for harder drugs

Education: which best describes your view?

The government should introduce a school voucher system, allowing the creation of private (charitable or for-profit) schools to compete with state schools; universities should be stripped of public funding and made to compete according to student job outcomes

Grammar schools should be reintroduced, alongside a drive for academic rigour, discipline and traditional teaching methods in the classroom; universities should be the preserve of the academic elite and those training for professions such as medicine and engineering

Cuts to school funding should be reversed in order to ensure reasonable class sizes and to pay teachers and teaching assistants adequately, with some funding coming from the abolition of private schools’ charitable status; greater financial support should be provided to poorer students at university

Private schools and the remaining grammar schools should be abolished, as they contribute to persistent social inequality; university fees should be scrapped entirely

The government should enact a drive for greater discipline, academic rigour and traditional teaching methods in state schools, empowering head teachers to expel disruptive pupils; alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and in-work training, should be promoted

The NHS: which best describes your view?

It is one of our most precious institutions; it should be generously funded, protected from privatisation and kept free at the point of use for everyone

The principle of universal healthcare is one we should maintain, but we should consider pragmatic reform to allow a greater mix of state, private and charitable healthcare provision

Its funding should be dramatically increased, any form of privatisation or outsourcing banned, and private healthcare prohibited to reduce health inequalities

It ought to be overhauled in favour of an insurance-based system with largely private provision

Transport: which best describes your view?

Cars are for many people the most convenient mode of transport and a necessity for many families; governments should not penalise motorists through excessive taxes and restrictions

The government should fully privatise all forms of transport, introduce road pricing and allow the market to decide, taxing vehicles only to cover the costs of infrastructure and externalities such as pollution

Cars should be banned from major urban areas, with massive investment into cycle infrastructure and public transport

While motorists should not be unduly penalised, they must pay the costs they impose through externalities such as pollution; the government should invest in cycle infrastructure, regulate or subsidise bus fares and reverse the Beeching railway closures

Energy: which best describes your view?

We must urgently move to a decarbonised energy system, eliminating reliance on fossil fuels and instead promoting renewable sources of energy; nuclear power is dangerous and unsustainable so should be phased out

We should aim to reach a ‘net-zero carbon’ energy system within the next decade or so through a combination of renewable energy sources and nuclear power, subsidising low-carbon energy sources where necessary

Britain’s efforts to decarbonise its energy system are a pointless act of self-harm; we should re-open coal power stations, permit fracking and the building of new nuclear power stations, and end subsidies to inefficient renewable energy sources

We should let the market decide the most efficient source of energy: deregulate the energy sector, particularly nuclear power, impose taxes on externalities such as pollution, and allow competition to drive down prices

Housing: which best describes your view?

We should permit and encourage the mass construction of houses in attractive and popular styles; this should be led largely by a less regulated private sector, but supplemented by social housing where necessary

Deregulating the housing sector, including the removal of green belt restrictions on development, is the only way to solve the housing crisis

The government must engage in a massive program of housebuilding as developers have exploited the housing crisis for profit; if landlords are allowed to exist at all, private rents should be strictly controlled

Although more housing is needed, we must not allow new developments to spoil the character of an area or to mar the natural beauty of our country; rather than allow rushed, low-quality housing, we would be better off managing the sources of demand for housing, such as mass immigration

As well as investing in more social housing, the government should tax homes that are left vacant and introduce greater protections for renters

Economic migration: which best describes your view?

High-skilled immigration is economically beneficial, and low-skilled immigration in certain numbers, but it should be controlled to protect workers’ wages, public services and social capital

It should be welcomed, provided that there be strict protections for workers’ wages and conditions

Immigration restrictions unjustly keep the poor of other countries in worse conditions, so should be mostly lifted

Economic migration, low-skilled and high-skilled, is a net benefit for both natives and the migrants themselves; we should have more, if anything

Mass economic migration reduces the bargaining power of the country’s workers and deprives developing countries of talent, so it should be tightly controlled

Mass immigration, particularly from very different cultures, is damaging to social and cultural cohesion, and so should be minimised

Refugees and asylum seekers: which best describes your view?

Britain has a duty, alongside other countries, to accommodate the desperate and dispossessed, but we must impose background checks and limit their numbers to reduce the risk of crime and cultural tensions

We should not admit any, but should humanely deport them and offer financial support to the nearest safe countries to accommodate them

We have no obligation to them and should rigorously enforce our borders

Britain ought to grant priority for asylum status to Christians and the persecuted minorities who are most compatible with our religious and cultural traditions, while strictly limiting the overall numbers admitted

Both refugees and the country as a whole will benefit from their arrival, so we should admit them in large numbers

We have a moral responsibility to all people in need, particularly when they are the victims of our foreign policy, so we should admit anyone who wishes to come

The monarchy: which best describes your view?

It is an embarrassing anachronism; an elected president would be cheaper, more democratic and more egalitarian

It is essentially harmless and enjoys public support, so we should keep it as long as that remains true, albeit in a less costly form

It is a feudal relic that embeds corruption and hierarchy; it should be immediately abolished and its assets seized to put them towards the public good

It is a source of national unity, continuity and pride; we should preserve it at all costs

Democracy: which best describes your view?

We should extend democracy as far as possible: abolish the monarchy and the House of Lords, overhaul the voting system and introduce workplace democracy

Representative democracy is the best system thus devised; governments should avoid divisive referenda and pandering to the public, and should be wary of meddling with long-established institutions

We need more democracy; we should hold more referenda on key issues and introduce a proportional voting system

Democracy is at best a necessary evil and should be limited; we should reinstate hereditary peers and ban referenda
