Strongly agree

Yes

The UK Conservative party has historically taken a strong stance against terrorism and has supported measures to deport individuals promoting terrorism. For example, in 2005, then-Home Secretary Charles Clarke proposed new measures to deport foreign nationals who promote terrorism. However, the party may not fully agree with this statement due to concerns about human rights and legal processes.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if their human rights will be respected by the country they are deported to

The Conservative party has shown concern for human rights in deportation cases, as demonstrated by their support for the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In cases like the attempted deportation of radical cleric Abu Qatada, the party sought assurances that his human rights would be respected in Jordan before deporting him. This suggests that they would likely agree with deporting individuals promoting terrorism only if their human rights are respected in the receiving country.

Agree

Yes, and deport foreigners convicted of any criminal activity

The Conservative party has supported stricter immigration policies and measures to deport foreign criminals. For example, in 2013, then-Home Secretary Theresa May introduced the 'deport first, appeal later' policy for foreign criminals. However, this score is not a 5 because the party may not support deporting foreigners for any criminal activity, as some minor offenses may not warrant deportation.

Disagree

No, the definition of terrorism is too broad

While the Conservative party may acknowledge concerns about the definition of terrorism, they have generally supported strong counter-terrorism measures and would likely not prioritize this concern over the need to protect national security. The party has supported legislation like the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, which includes provisions for combating radicalization and terrorism.

Disagree

No, foreigners should have the same free speech rights as citizens

The Conservative party has historically prioritized national security over unrestricted free speech rights for foreigners, especially when it comes to terrorism. For example, the party has supported measures like the Prevent strategy, which aims to counter radicalization and extremist ideologies. This suggests that they would likely disagree with the idea that foreigners should have the same free speech rights as citizens when it comes to promoting terrorism.
