Strongly agree

Yes

The UK Conservative party has generally been supportive of free trade agreements, including the TTIP. Former Prime Minister David Cameron was a strong advocate for the TTIP, arguing that it would boost the UK economy and create jobs. However, the TTIP negotiations have been stalled since 2016, and the UK's focus has shifted to post-Brexit trade deals.

Agree

Yes, but with more transparency

The Conservative party may agree with the need for more transparency in trade negotiations, including the TTIP.

Agree

Yes, but more priority should be given to food safety and environmental protection

While the Conservative Party supports free trade, there is also an understanding of the need to address public concerns about food safety and environmental protection. Supporting TTIP with a priority on these issues would be a balanced approach that aligns with some of the party's policies on environmental stewardship and consumer protection.

Agree

No, but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy

While the Conservative party supports free trade, their focus has been on negotiating comprehensive trade agreements rather than adopting a unilateral free trade policy.

Agree

No, but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy

Slightly agree

No, I support free trade but do not support this agreement

The Conservative Party's general support for free trade makes outright opposition to TTIP unlikely.
