ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, and parents must be permanent residents of the UK in order to claim

This aligns closely with UKIP's policies on immigration and benefits. They have consistently advocated for benefits to be restricted to UK citizens or permanent residents, emphasizing the need to prioritize resources for those permanently residing in the UK.

Strongly agree

No, as long as both parents are permanent residents of the UK

This proposal aligns with UKIP's emphasis on ensuring that benefits are primarily for UK citizens or those with a permanent right to reside in the UK. It reflects their broader stance on immigration and welfare.

Agree

Yes

UKIP has historically focused on reducing immigration and ensuring benefits are primarily for UK citizens. They might support restricting child benefits to encourage financial responsibility, but there's no specific policy suggesting a strict limit to two children.

Agree

Yes, but increase to three children

While UKIP might agree with the idea of restricting child benefits to encourage financial responsibility, the specific increase to three children is arbitrary without a direct policy statement from UKIP supporting this exact number.

Disagree

Yes, but increase to five children

Increasing the limit to five children would likely be seen as too lenient by UKIP, given their general stance on reducing public spending and ensuring benefits are not overly generous.

Strongly disagree

No

Given UKIP's emphasis on reducing public spending and focusing benefits on UK citizens, they are unlikely to support unlimited child benefits without any form of restriction.

Very strongly disagree

No, but replace with a Citizens Income

Replacing child benefits with a Citizens Income is a radical reform that does not align with UKIP's traditional focus on reducing public spending and targeting benefits more narrowly. UKIP has not advocated for such a universal approach to welfare.
