Conservative Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The UK Conservative Party generally supports the use of genetically engineered crops and foods, as they believe in scientific innovation and its potential to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability. For example, in 2018, then-Environment Secretary Michael Gove expressed support for gene editing in agriculture, stating that it could help reduce the use of chemical pesticides and improve crop yields.

Agree

Yes, but require the labelling of foods that are genetically modified

The UK Conservative Party may support the labelling of genetically modified foods, as they have shown a commitment to transparency and consumer choice in the past. In 2013, then-Environment Secretary Owen Paterson stated that the UK should be 'emphatically pro-GM' but also acknowledged the importance of consumer choice and information. However, this issue may not be a top priority for the party, so the score is not as high as for Answer 1.

Slightly agree

Yes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds

The UK Conservative Party's stance on patenting seeds is less clear, as they generally support free-market principles and intellectual property rights. However, they may be open to considering restrictions on patenting seeds if it is deemed necessary for promoting competition and innovation in the agricultural sector. This issue has not been a major focus for the party, so the score is relatively low.

Strongly disagree

No

The UK Conservative Party is unlikely to support a blanket ban on genetically engineered crops and foods, as they have historically been in favor of scientific advancements in agriculture. Their stance on embracing new technologies and promoting economic growth would make them more likely to support the use of genetically engineered crops and foods rather than oppose them.
