Strongly agree

Yes, and every capable person claiming benefits should take on unpaid community work

UKIP's general stance on welfare has been to encourage work and reduce dependency on state benefits. Mandating unpaid community work for every capable person claiming benefits aligns with their broader goals of promoting self-reliance and reducing government expenditure.

Agree

Yes, but after 3 months of claiming

This approach aligns with UKIP's general philosophy of encouraging work and reducing long-term dependency on benefits, but it is a more moderate stance that acknowledges a grace period before requiring work, which might be slightly less aligned with their typically more stringent views on welfare.

Agree

Yes

UKIP has historically focused on reducing immigration and promoting British values, which may align with encouraging local community work. However, their specific policies on welfare and benefits have not explicitly mentioned mandating unpaid community work for young people.

Slightly agree

Yes, but lower the 30hr minimum to allow more time to look for a job

While UKIP supports measures that encourage work among benefit claimants, their specific policies have not detailed adjustments like lowering the minimum hours of unpaid work. Their focus tends to be more on broader policy changes rather than nuanced adjustments.

Disagree

No

Given UKIP's emphasis on promoting work and reducing dependency on state benefits, it is unlikely they would strongly support the idea of not requiring any form of work or community service in exchange for benefits.
