Agree

Yes, but only for large international corporations

The Labour party might support requiring large international corporations to have women on their board of directors as a way to promote gender equality and diversity in influential businesses. However, this answer does not fully align with their broader stance on promoting diversity across all businesses, not just large corporations.

Agree

Yes, but only for large international corporations

This nuanced position might be somewhat agreeable to Labour as it targets large international corporations, which are often in the spotlight for corporate responsibility and equality issues. However, Labour might prefer a more comprehensive approach that doesn't limit the requirement to only large corporations.

Neutral

No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender

While the Labour party values meritocracy, they also recognize the importance of diversity and gender equality in the workplace. They may agree that board members should be the most qualified, but they would likely argue that this should not come at the expense of diversity and representation.

Disagree

No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender
