Strongly agree
Yes
The UK Conservative party has historically supported policies that reduce benefits for tenants in under-occupied social housing. For example, they introduced the 'bedroom tax' in 2013, which reduced housing benefits for tenants with spare bedrooms. However, they have made some exceptions, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree
Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available smaller property
The Conservative party might agree with this answer to some extent, as it aligns with their general stance on reducing benefits for under-occupied social housing. However, this specific condition of refusing to move to a smaller property has not been a central part of their policy, so the agreement is not as strong.
