Strongly agree

No

As mentioned earlier, the UK Labour Party has generally been supportive of the European Union and its institutions. They believe that the European Commission plays an important role in ensuring cooperation and coordination among EU member states. While they may advocate for reforms within the European Commission, they would likely not support its complete dismantlement. For instance, during the 2019 UK general election, the Labour Party's manifesto included a commitment to negotiate a new Brexit deal that would maintain a close relationship with the EU, which implies a continued engagement with the European Commission.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The UK Labour Party has historically been supportive of the European Union and its institutions, including the European Commission. While there have been some Eurosceptic voices within the party, the majority of Labour politicians and members have been in favor of maintaining strong ties with the EU. For example, during the 2016 Brexit referendum, the Labour Party officially campaigned for the UK to remain in the EU. Dismantling the European Commission would go against their general pro-EU stance.
