Strongly agree

Yes

The Green Party in the UK generally supports investing in social and community-based programs. While they may not explicitly call for defunding the police, they do advocate for addressing the root causes of crime and focusing on prevention, which could involve redirecting some police funding. For example, in their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they proposed investing in youth services and community support to reduce crime.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

While they support addressing the root causes of crime and investing in prevention, they have not called for the complete removal of police departments.
