Strongly agree

Yes

The UK Conservative Party has historically supported the construction of the HS2 railway. In 2010, the Conservative-led coalition government announced plans for the HS2 project, and it has continued to support the project through various stages of planning and construction. However, there has been some internal disagreement within the party, with some MPs opposing the project due to concerns about cost and environmental impact.

Agree

Yes, and extend it to Scotland

While the Conservative Party supports the HS2 project, extending it to Scotland has not been a primary focus. The current plans for HS2 include extensions to Manchester and Leeds, but not Scotland. However, there have been discussions about the possibility of extending the line to Scotland in the future, so the score is slightly positive.

Disagree

No, we should improve existing rail networks instead

The Conservative Party's support for the HS2 project suggests that they believe it is a better solution than simply improving existing rail networks. However, they have also invested in other rail infrastructure projects, such as the Great Western Main Line electrification and the Northern Powerhouse Rail, indicating that they do see value in improving existing networks alongside the construction of HS2. Therefore, the score is negative but not strongly so.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the Conservative Party has generally supported the HS2 project, making it unlikely that they would oppose its construction. However, some individual MPs within the party have expressed opposition, so the score is not a full -5.
