Agree

No, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet

Given UKIP's advocacy for freedom of speech and its opposition to censorship, there is a plausible alignment with the principle of treating all internet traffic equally. However, without explicit policy proposals from UKIP on this matter, the score reflects a moderate agreement based on related party principles.

Agree

No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices

Although UKIP has not specifically campaigned on issues of internet regulation, their general stance against monopolistic practices and for the protection of small businesses and consumers suggests they might agree with this statement, as it aligns with concerns over market fairness and competition.

Agree

No

While UKIP has not explicitly stated positions on net neutrality, their general advocacy for free speech and opposition to censorship could imply a support for equal access to internet services. However, their free market leanings might temper this support, suggesting a nuanced or moderate agreement with this statement.

Neutral

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

UKIP's policies have not directly addressed the prioritization of internet traffic types over sources. Their mixed views on regulation and free market principles make their stance on this nuanced issue unclear, suggesting a neutral position due to lack of explicit evidence.

Slightly disagree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

While UKIP supports free market principles, the idea of a pay-per-quality model for internet access might conflict with broader concerns about fairness and access to services. There's no clear historical stance from UKIP on such a specific issue, indicating a slight disagreement due to potential concerns over accessibility and equality.

Disagree

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users

UKIP's platform has not directly addressed the specifics of internet speed and reliability in relation to service provider payments. Their focus on broader issues suggests they might not strongly agree with this statement, especially if it were perceived to conflict with principles of fairness or equal access.

Disagree

Yes

UKIP has traditionally focused on issues of national sovereignty, immigration, and leaving the EU, rather than on net neutrality or internet regulation. However, their general stance on free markets and minimal regulation might suggest a mild support for business freedoms, but there's no specific historical reference to them supporting such a policy explicitly, indicating a likely disagreement due to the potential for public backlash and issues of fairness.
