No, adding educational plaques to existing monuments acknowledges our complex history without trying to erase it

This answer directly matches the 'retain and explain' policy established by the Conservative government in 2021, which advocates for adding plaques to provide historical context while keeping statues in place.

Agree

No, we should proudly celebrate the architects of the British Empire for their unmatched contributions to global modernization

While the party defends the British Empire's legacy and its role in global modernization, the official 'retain and explain' policy is usually phrased more neutrally than an uncritical celebration of all imperial figures.

Yes, but relocate them to museums where their atrocities can be properly contextualized and taught

While the party supports contextualization, their official policy mandates that this should happen in situ. They view relocation to museums as a form of removal that undermines the integrity of the public square.

Yes, glorifying historical figures who profited from human trafficking is unacceptable in a multicultural society

The party leadership, including Kemi Badenoch, has frequently criticized this line of reasoning as 'identity politics' or 'woke' ideology that seeks to delegitimize British history.
