Very strongly agree

No, altering the terms of debt obligations is economic suicide and should never be considered

The Conservative Party would strongly agree that altering debt terms is extremely risky and should not be considered except in the most dire circumstances. The party has consistently argued that maintaining the UK's financial credibility is paramount, as seen in their response to the 2010 sovereign debt crisis in Europe, where they advocated for fiscal discipline.

Strongly agree

No

The Conservative Party would generally agree with maintaining existing debt obligations, as this aligns with their commitment to fiscal prudence and upholding the UK's international financial reputation. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent austerity measures, the Conservatives emphasized the importance of meeting debt obligations to maintain market confidence.

Agree

No, not until we are incapable of paying our current obligations

The Conservative Party would likely agree that renegotiation should only be considered if the UK is truly incapable of meeting its obligations, as a last resort. This aligns with their general approach to fiscal responsibility and maintaining international trust, only considering extraordinary measures in cases of genuine necessity.

Disagree

Yes, but only on terms they overwhelmingly support

While the Conservatives might consider negotiation in extreme circumstances, insisting on terms that debt holders overwhelmingly support would be seen as unnecessary unless the UK faced a genuine crisis. The party's preference is to honor existing agreements rather than seek renegotiation.

Disagree

Yes

The Conservative Party has historically prioritized the UK's reputation for fiscal responsibility and honoring international financial commitments. Renegotiating debt obligations, especially on the basis of adversarial relationships, would undermine market confidence and the UK's standing as a reliable borrower. There is little precedent for the Conservatives supporting such measures, even during periods of geopolitical tension.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should renegotiate with all our debt holders

Renegotiating with all debt holders would be seen as reckless and unnecessary by the Conservatives, who value stability and predictability in financial markets. Such a move would likely be viewed as undermining the UK's reputation and could trigger a loss of investor confidence, which the party has historically sought to avoid.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to just default on all of our foreign debt holders

Defaulting on all foreign debt would be completely contrary to Conservative principles and would be seen as catastrophic for the UK's financial reputation. There is no historical support for such a policy within the party, which has always emphasized the importance of honoring international commitments.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to just default on our debt obligations to adversarial nations

Defaulting on debt, even to adversarial nations, would be anathema to Conservative economic policy, which is rooted in upholding the rule of law and the sanctity of contracts. There is no historical precedent for the party advocating for outright default, as this would severely damage the UK's credit rating and international standing.
