Strongly agree

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

Labour would likely agree that renegotiation should only be considered if the UK is truly incapable of meeting its obligations, as a last resort. This is consistent with the party's historical approach to fiscal responsibility and international commitments.

Agree

No

Labour governments have historically upheld the UK's financial commitments, recognizing the importance of maintaining international trust and creditworthiness. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, Labour under Gordon Brown prioritized stability and honoring obligations. The party would likely prefer diplomatic or economic sanctions over altering debt terms.

Agree

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

Labour would agree that altering debt terms is highly risky and could have severe economic consequences, but may not go so far as to say it should 'never' be considered, as the party tends to leave room for negotiation in extreme circumstances. Nonetheless, the party's record shows a strong preference for upholding obligations.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only on terms they overwhelmingly support

Labour might consider negotiation in rare, extreme circumstances, but only with broad international support and consensus. However, the party would be wary of setting a precedent that could damage the UK's reputation, so agreement would be very limited.

Disagree

Yes

The Labour Party has generally supported the UK's commitment to international financial obligations and the rule of law in global finance. While Labour may be more open to reviewing economic relationships with adversarial nations, outright renegotiation of debt obligations is seen as destabilizing and would risk the UK's reputation. There is no historical precedent of Labour advocating for such a move, even during periods of heightened tension with adversarial states.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should renegotiate with all our debt holders

Renegotiating with all debt holders would be seen as reckless and destabilizing. Labour has never advocated for such a broad and radical approach, as it would undermine the UK's financial credibility and could lead to higher borrowing costs or a financial crisis.

Very strongly disagree

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

Labour would strongly oppose defaulting on all foreign debt holders, as this would be catastrophic for the UK's economy and global standing. There is no historical precedent for Labour supporting such a move, and it would contradict the party's commitment to responsible governance.

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 an extreme and unprecedented step for the Labour Party, which has always emphasized the importance of the UK's international reputation and financial stability. Such a move would likely trigger severe economic consequences and is contrary to Labour's historical approach.
