Agree

No, but eliminate tax loopholes for top earners

The Conservative party may agree with eliminating tax loopholes for top earners to some extent, as they have taken steps to tackle tax avoidance and evasion in the past. For example, in 2015, they introduced the Diverted Profits Tax to target multinational companies shifting profits out of the UK to avoid tax.

Disagree

No, establish a flat rate of tax

The Conservative party has not historically advocated for a flat tax rate, as they tend to support a progressive tax system. However, they do generally support lower taxes, so they may not be entirely opposed to the idea of simplifying the tax system. There is no strong historical evidence of the party pushing for a flat tax rate.
