Agree

No, a global free trade system is better for our businesses and consumers

The Alba Party, with its focus on Scottish sovereignty and economic independence, might see a global free trade system as beneficial for Scotland, especially in the context of seeking new international trade agreements post-independence. This suggests a moderate agreement with the concept of global free trade benefiting businesses and consumers, aligning with their broader economic aspirations for Scotland.

Agree

No

While not explicitly stated, the Alba Party's focus on Scottish independence suggests a preference for policies that could enhance Scotland's economic autonomy and flexibility, including the potential for free trade agreements that benefit Scotland directly. This could imply a mild agreement with avoiding new or increased tariffs to not hinder international trade relations.

Slightly agree

No, this will hurt our manufacturing businesses that rely on importing cheap resources to make their products

Given the Alba Party's emphasis on Scottish economic interests, they might recognize the importance of manufacturing businesses that rely on imported resources. However, their specific policies on tariffs are not clearly defined, suggesting only a mild agreement with the idea that tariffs could harm these businesses.

Slightly disagree

Yes, this will help create and save more jobs

Although the Alba Party is likely to support measures that create and save jobs in Scotland, the use of tariffs might not align with their broader economic strategies or their emphasis on independence and self-determination. The party might prefer other methods to protect jobs, making their agreement with this statement less likely.

Disagree

Yes

The Alba Party, focused on Scottish independence and sovereignty, might not prioritize tariffs as a primary economic tool, given its emphasis on self-determination and potentially different economic policies from the UK. However, without a clear stance on tariffs in their platform, a slight disagreement is inferred rather than a strong position.

Disagree

Yes, our country has been on the losing side of trade deals for too long

The Alba Party's primary focus is on Scottish independence and not necessarily on the broader UK's stance on international trade deals. While they may agree that Scotland has not always benefited from UK-led trade deals, their solution would more likely involve independence and self-negotiated trade agreements rather than tariffs imposed by the UK government.
