Roger Gale’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Very strongly agree

No

Since 2016 the party’s mainstream stance has been to implement and defend Brexit; Conservative manifestos and leaders (May, Johnson, Sunak) have focused on making Brexit work rather than reversing it.

Very strongly agree

No, we must respect the referendum and build a sovereign Global Britain

This closely matches the party’s post-referendum framing: respect the 2016 result, restore sovereignty, and pursue a ‘Global Britain’ agenda—central to Conservative messaging under May and Johnson and continued thereafter.

Agree

No, the EU is a failing political project and we are better off independent

A significant Conservative/Eurosceptic wing has long portrayed the EU as overly centralising and argued for independence (e.g., ERG influence during the 2016–2020 period). However, describing the EU as ‘failing’ is stronger rhetoric than the party’s official, more pragmatic tone at times.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if we keep the Pound and stay out of the Schengen zone

While some Conservatives historically favoured opt-outs (UK kept the pound and had a Schengen opt-out), the current party line is not to seek re-joining at all; conditional re-join is still largely contrary to the party’s settled Brexit position.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Conservative Party led the 2016 Leave campaign (prominent Conservatives) and then delivered Brexit in government (May’s Article 50, Johnson’s Withdrawal Agreement and 2020 exit), and has consistently opposed re-joining as a party position.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, Brexit damaged our economy and we need a seat at the table

Conservative leadership has generally rejected the premise that the solution to post-Brexit economic issues is re-joining; instead it has pursued new trade policy and regulatory autonomy after leaving the EU single market and customs union.
