ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas

Given the DUP's general support for fracking and the oil and gas industry, it is likely that they would agree with the idea of allowing fracking but not in heavily populated areas. This stance would allow them to support the industry while also addressing potential concerns about the impact on local communities.

Agree

Yes

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has not taken a strong stance on fracking, but they have generally been supportive of the oil and gas industry. In 2014, DUP MP Gregory Campbell expressed support for fracking in Northern Ireland, stating that it could create jobs and boost the economy. However, the party has not been as vocal on this issue as some others.

Yes, but increase oversight

Disagree

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead

While the DUP has not been strongly opposed to sustainable energy resources, their support for fracking and the oil and gas industry suggests that they would not prioritize these alternatives over fracking. However, they have not been as vocal on this issue as some other parties, so their disagreement with this statement may not be as strong as it could be.

Disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the DUP has shown some support for fracking in the past, which indicates that they would likely disagree with a blanket opposition to the practice. However, their stance is not as strong as some other pro-fracking parties, so the disagreement is not as strong as it could be.
