No, a global free trade system is better for our businesses and consumers

A global free trade system is in harmony with Volt UK's internationalist and pro-European Union stance, advocating for reduced barriers to trade and the promotion of economic cooperation both within Europe and globally. This reflects their broader goals of fostering unity and collaboration.

Strongly agree

No

Given Volt UK's pro-EU stance, they are likely to oppose measures that would introduce or increase tariffs, as such policies would conflict with the principles of free trade and the free movement of goods, which are central to the EU's single market, a market that Volt UK supports.

No, this will hurt our manufacturing businesses that rely on importing cheap resources to make their products

This aligns with Volt UK's broader economic philosophy that supports the competitiveness of businesses on a global scale, including the importance of access to affordable resources. However, their emphasis on sustainability and fair trade might temper their support for importing cheap resources without consideration of environmental or ethical standards.

Disagree

Yes, this will help create and save more jobs
