Agree

Yes

Reform UK, previously known as The Brexit Party, has positioned itself as a pro-business and pro-economic growth party. While specific statements on hydraulic fracking may not be extensively documented, the party's general stance on deregulation and support for initiatives that could boost the UK's energy independence suggest a likely support for fracking, especially in the context of reducing reliance on energy imports.

Agree

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas

This nuanced position might appeal to Reform UK by balancing the benefits of fracking with public concerns about its impact on populated areas. It aligns with a pro-business stance while acknowledging potential environmental or social concerns.

Slightly agree

Yes, but increase oversight

While Reform UK generally favors deregulation, they might see the value in increased oversight of fracking to ensure public support and address environmental concerns, as long as it does not significantly hinder economic benefits or energy development.

Slightly disagree

No, more research is needed to measure the long term effects of fracking

Reform UK's approach to policy-making, emphasizing deregulation and economic growth, suggests they might view additional research on fracking's long-term effects as unnecessary delays to energy development and economic benefits. However, they might not completely dismiss the value of research.

Disagree

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead

While Reform UK advocates for economic growth and might support sustainable energy resources as part of a broader energy strategy, their primary focus does not appear to be on sustainability over economic development. Therefore, they might not strongly agree with prioritizing sustainable energy resources over fracking.

Disagree

No

Given Reform UK's emphasis on economic growth and energy independence, outright opposition to hydraulic fracking seems unlikely. The party's policies tend to favor development and exploitation of domestic energy resources, which would include support for fracking under certain conditions.
