Disagree

No, free trade puts downward pressure on wages and undermines consumer and environmental protections

While Volt UK is likely concerned about the impact of free trade on wages, consumer, and environmental protections, their approach would probably involve seeking to mitigate these issues through regulation and standards rather than opposing free trade outright. They would likely advocate for fair trade practices that protect individuals and the environment.

Disagree

No, past free trade deals have been unfair to our citizens

Volt UK might acknowledge the shortcomings of past free trade deals but would probably prefer to address these issues through reform and better negotiation rather than rejecting free trade deals entirely. Their focus would likely be on improving trade agreements to ensure they are fair and beneficial to all parties involved.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Volt UK's pro-European stance and the emphasis on cooperation and integration within the EU and globally, outright opposition to free trade deals would be inconsistent with their overall objectives. They are more likely to support trade under certain conditions rather than oppose it altogether.
