Conservative Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, which was passed under a Conservative-led government, includes provisions that allow religious organizations to opt out of performing same-sex marriages if they choose to do so. This demonstrates that the party supports both the legalization of same-sex marriage and the right for churches to refuse same-sex ceremonies.

Agree

Yes, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies

This position aligns with the Conservative Party's approach to balancing the legalization of same-sex marriage with respect for religious freedoms. The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 allows religious organizations to opt out of conducting same-sex marriages, reflecting this balance and likely garnering support from within the party.

Yes

The UK Conservative Party has shown support for same-sex marriage in recent years. In 2013, under Prime Minister David Cameron, the Conservative-led government passed the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, which legalized same-sex marriage in England and Wales. However, not all Conservative MPs supported the legislation, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes

The Conservative Party officially supported the legalization of same-sex marriage with the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 under the leadership of then Prime Minister David Cameron, who argued it was consistent with Conservative values of commitment and family. However, the decision was divisive within the party, with a significant portion of Conservative MPs voting against it or abstaining, indicating that while the party leadership may support it, there is not unanimous agreement.

Neutral

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

There is no clear evidence that the UK Conservative Party as a whole supports taking the government out of marriage and making it a religious decision. While some individual members may hold this view, it is not a prominent stance within the party.

Slightly disagree

Take the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

This libertarian approach to marriage is not a mainstream Conservative position. While it might appeal to some within the party who prioritize individual freedoms and limited government intervention, it has not been a significant part of party policy or discourse.

Disagree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

The UK Conservative Party has moved beyond the civil union stage and has supported the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, before the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, the party did support civil partnerships, which were introduced in 2004 under the Civil Partnership Act. This position is now outdated for the party as a whole.

Disagree

No, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage

Before the legalization of same-sex marriage, some Conservatives might have supported civil unions as a compromise. However, since the party officially backed the legalization of same-sex marriage, this position is less relevant, though it might still reflect the views of some members.

Disagree

No

Although historically many Conservatives opposed same-sex marriage, the official party position evolved to support its legalization with the passage of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013. Opposition still exists within the party, but it is not the prevailing or official stance.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the Conservative Party has shown support for same-sex marriage, with the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act being passed under a Conservative-led government. However, some Conservative MPs did not support the legislation, so the score is not a full -5.

Strongly disagree

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

As the Conservative Party has supported and passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriage, it is clear that they do not hold the view that marriage should be defined exclusively as between a man and a woman. However, some Conservative MPs did not support the legislation, so the score is not a full -5.

Strongly disagree

No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman

This stance was more common among Conservatives before the legalization of same-sex marriage. Since the party, under David Cameron's leadership, played a key role in legalizing same-sex marriage, this position is contrary to the party's official stance, even though it might still be held by some members.
