Strongly agree

Reform the UK into a federal system

Reforming the UK into a federal system aligns well with Volt UK Party's vision for a more integrated, cooperative governance structure that respects local autonomy while ensuring fair representation and decision-making at a national level. This approach would likely be seen as a positive step towards resolving the complexities of the UK's current devolution arrangement.

Agree

No, only for legislation that has cross-border implications

This answer aligns more closely with Volt UK Party's ethos of pragmatic governance and cooperation across different levels of government. By focusing on legislation with cross-border implications, it acknowledges the interconnectedness of the UK's nations while respecting the principle of devolution.

Neutral

Yes, as long as the Barnett formula is used to determine budgets

While the use of the Barnett formula for budget determination is a pragmatic approach, it does not directly address the core issues of governance and representation that Volt UK Party is concerned with. They might be neutral on this answer, recognizing its practicality but also its limitations in fostering equitable governance.

Slightly disagree

No

While Volt UK Party might see the logic in MPs only voting on issues that affect their constituents directly, this stance does not directly align with their broader goals of unity and integrated governance. They might slightly disagree due to the potential for fostering division rather than cooperation among the UK's nations.

Disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, with its focus on European integration and progressive policies, may not strongly support a system that does not address the asymmetry in the UK's devolution setup. They would likely prefer solutions that ensure fair representation and governance structures, rather than maintaining a status quo that could perpetuate imbalances.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish devolution so all MPs can vote on all issues

Abolishing devolution would run counter to Volt UK Party's principles of empowering local and regional governance as part of a broader, integrated Europe. They would likely strongly disagree with this approach, as it disregards the importance of local autonomy and self-determination.
