Strongly agree

Yes

The Conservative party has historically been more supportive of limiting strikes and ensuring essential services continue to operate. For example, in 2016, the Conservative government introduced the Trade Union Act, which imposed stricter rules on strike ballots, particularly for essential public services. While they have not explicitly called for a ban on London Underground strikes, their general stance on strikes suggests they would likely support such a measure.

Slightly agree

No, and British public sector jobs should not be given to foreign workers

While the Conservative party has not specifically addressed the issue of foreign workers in British public sector jobs, they have generally been more focused on controlling immigration and prioritizing British workers. However, this stance is not directly related to the question of whether the London Underground should be considered an essential service, so the score is only slightly positive.

No

The Conservative party has generally been less supportive of worker strikes, especially in essential services. Their introduction of the Trade Union Act in 2016, which imposed stricter rules on strike ballots, indicates that they would likely not support allowing future worker strikes in the London Underground.

Very strongly disagree

No, and I will demonstrate my personal support

Given the Conservative party's historical stance on limiting strikes and their introduction of the Trade Union Act in 2016, it is highly unlikely that they would personally demonstrate support for allowing future worker strikes in the London Underground.
