A tariff is a tax on imports or exports between countries.
@9BR4J8C12mos12MO
Not enough knowledge on the subject
Depends upon the country. Flagrant abusers of human rights (China, Saudi Arabia etc) should have high tariffs placed upon them
@9B84XHJ1yr1Y
We should only trade for conquest or to aid Monarchist/Fascist fighters or to create a peace agreement.
@9B535MJ1yr1Y
Yes on certain products
@962KL2Y1yr1Y
Yes, but only for critical industries absolutely necessary for national security
If used amd related to manufacturing then no, but if for direct sale, ie, electrical import goods then yes
@9B39PPJ1yr1Y
Yes, where needed to balance carbon, environmental and other standards
@99RPDSC1yr1Y
Not enough knowledge in topic to make a stance.
@993FP4F1yr1Y
In certain industries only
@98583BN1yr1Y
Yes, tariffs should be related to carbon footprint of imported products
Yes, they should because it is worse for the environment to import
@96T6SK52yrs2Y
Yes, where this protects strategic industries such as agriculture.
@96MVXFS2yrs2Y
Yes, but only on products imported by businesses
This should be considered on a case by case basis as there is reason to raise and lower tariffs in different sectors from different countries.
@96DYH6K2yrs2Y
@95TQTDF2yrs2Y
Only on products that compete with locally produced goods as a way to promote local manufacturing and business
@95SDNQM2yrs2Y
Yes but also held in reducing manufacturing costs in this country to stop us from seeking parts cheaper from abroad
@95F5QM62yrs2Y
Only if they have headquarters based in the UK then they should increase tariffs based on what they import into the country.
Yes, If the business is based in the UK then the government add or increase tariffs on products imported into the country.
@95392CL2yrs2Y
Definitely dependant on the conditions the workers are working in.
@94K43Z52yrs2Y
Yes but only on goods we don’t have access to in the UK already
@946BL2K2yrs2Y
Yes, but only on environmentally unsustainably sourced products
No, we will only use protectionist policies against a single country if we deem them anti-west or in warfare.
@93XCSWF2yrs2Y
No, domestic consumers are left paying higher prices as a result.
@93RN6QD2yrs2Y
Yes, but only on goods we produce/manufacture a significant in this country.
@93JRCGD2yrs2Y
My ideology is too extreme for this question to make sense
@93GT7XN2yrs2Y
Reduce tariffs for countries that adhere to human rights but increase tariffs on trade with countries that don’t
@93GPN272yrs2Y
Firstly cost-push inflation would be awful right now also retaliation
@93B6TZQ2yrs2Y
tariffs without building and support the rebuild of national industry also allowing certain ally countrys to pass tariff restrictions could be good diplomatic ammo
@8DFJF9Y4yrs4Y
@9LNF59B1wk1W
No as whatever costs are added we would pay for eventually as the companies would add that to the product
@9FY5N227mos7MO
Free trade and as a small country with relatively small but expensive work force we should focus better tech to optimize every worker and making high quality products that last ,britain needs to known for making the best
@9DLWVKL8mos8MO
Only carefully, for target industries, by negotiation with trade partners.
@9DCWFC28mos8MO
Depends on the products and whether we can produce them here instead.
@9D8FLHX 9mos9MO
No but only if the other country starts a trade war or attempts or actually economically blackmail the UK
@9D348SM9mos9MO
Yes, only if they use the money to invest in creating the resources being imported here in the UK
@9CLDBL910mos10MO
dependant on industry and country of origin
@9CGL93410mos10MO
Yes, but only on goods we can produce in the UK
@9CCXMPD11mos11MO
What about the people having to pay more, the people come first so no
@9C6658D11mos11MO
We should increase tarrifs on goods produced in unfriendly or illiberal countries, while having total free trade with our allies.
@9C5T2YJ11mos11MO
Yes but only as part of a targeted strategy for specific elements of foreign or economic policy.
The question is too flawed to answer properly. It may change according to product category and point of origin.
@9BS2N8RConservative12mos12MO
Yes, on imports from countries with authoritarian governments
@9BBPP3X1yr1Y
Yes, but only for non-friendly nations
@92YTJ992yrs2Y
Raw goods no, produces goods yes
@92QSTSS2yrs2Y
No, but should encourage businesses to use sustainably sourced raw materials from country's with strong human rights polices
@92LQC7W2yrs2Y
On the whole no. Only add tariffs if UK industry is under threat.
