Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

The Labour party would likely strongly agree with this answer, as they generally support more community-based policing and less militarization but may recognize the need for military-grade equipment with proper training and oversight. For example, in 2015, then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called for a review of the police's use of tasers, expressing concern about their potential misuse and calling for better training and regulation.

Agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations
