Liberal Democrat Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but allow more local control

The Liberal Democrats have often advocated for more local control in various aspects of governance, including the national railway. In their 2019 general election manifesto, they called for the establishment of 'devolved rail authorities' to oversee the railway system. This position aligns well with Answer 5, as it supports a mixed system with public ownership of the infrastructure, private companies operating the trains, and increased local control.

Agree

No

The Liberal Democrats have generally been against full privatization of the national railway, but they have not always called for complete public ownership. They have supported a mixed system, with public ownership of the infrastructure and private companies operating the trains. However, in recent years, they have leaned more towards public ownership, as seen in their 2019 general election manifesto.

Agree

No, eliminate any privatisation and have the government operate the trains and tracks

The Liberal Democrats have increasingly leaned towards public ownership of the national railway in recent years. In their 2019 general election manifesto, they called for a 'publicly-owned railway' and opposed further privatization. This position aligns with Answer 4, although it is important to note that they have historically supported a mixed system, with public ownership of the infrastructure and private companies operating the trains.

Agree

Yes, privatise the operation of the trains and tracks

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported a mixed system for the national railway, with public ownership of the infrastructure and private companies operating the trains. This position is somewhat in line with Answer 3, but it is not a full endorsement of privatizing both the operation of trains and tracks. Their 2019 general election manifesto called for a 'publicly-owned railway,' which suggests a preference for public ownership of the tracks.
