Strongly agree

Yes

The Labour party has historically been in favour of abolishing the non-domicile rule, as they believe it is a tax loophole that benefits the wealthy and contributes to income inequality. In the 2015 general election, then-Labour leader Ed Miliband pledged to abolish the non-dom status if his party won the election. However, the party's stance may not be as strong as it once was, as more recent manifestos have not explicitly mentioned the non-dom rule.

Disagree

No, this would discourage foreign investment in the UK

The Labour party is generally more focused on addressing income inequality and closing tax loopholes than on promoting foreign investment through tax breaks. While they may acknowledge that abolishing the non-dom rule could have some impact on foreign investment, their primary concern is likely to be ensuring that all residents pay their fair share of taxes. The score is not -5 because the party may still consider the potential impact on foreign investment when discussing tax policy.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the Labour party has historically been against the non-domicile rule and has sought to abolish it. Therefore, they would likely disagree with maintaining the status quo. However, the score is not -5 because the party's stance may have softened in recent years, as evidenced by the lack of explicit mention in more recent manifestos.
