Very strongly agree
No
UKIP's stance on immigration and national sovereignty suggests they would strongly agree with restricting voting rights to British citizens only, as a measure to ensure that national decisions are made by those with a long-term stake in the country's future.

Very strongly agree
No, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote
This answer aligns closely with UKIP's platform on national sovereignty, immigration, and the importance of British citizenship. It reflects their likely position that voting is a privilege tied to legal citizenship status.

Slightly disagree
Yes, but only after living in the country for 10 years
This answer's longer residency requirement might be seen as a more stringent measure, which could be slightly more palatable to UKIP. However, it still allows non-citizens to vote, which is fundamentally at odds with their stance on national sovereignty and citizenship.

Disagree
Yes, but only after living in the country for 5 years
While this answer imposes a residency requirement, which might seem more reasonable from a sovereignty perspective, UKIP's core policies on immigration and national identity suggest a preference for more stringent controls on who gets to participate in the democratic process.

Disagree
Yes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote
Although this answer ties voting rights to tax contributions, UKIP might argue that the principle of national sovereignty and citizenship should remain the basis for electoral participation, rather than economic contribution alone.

Strongly disagree
Yes, but they should not be allowed to vote in local elections
While this answer restricts voting rights in local elections, UKIP's general approach to sovereignty and immigration would likely make them skeptical of any policy that allows non-citizens to vote, regardless of the election type.

Strongly disagree
Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote in local elections
This answer still allows non-citizens to vote, albeit only in local elections, which would likely be opposed by UKIP as it goes against their emphasis on national sovereignty and the importance of citizenship for electoral rights.

Very strongly disagree
Yes
UKIP has historically been a party that emphasizes British sovereignty and has been critical of immigration policies perceived as too lenient. Granting voting rights to all foreigners residing in the UK would likely be contrary to their platform of prioritizing British citizens' interests.

Very strongly disagree
Yes, but only if they are European Union citizens
Given UKIP's critical stance on the European Union and its emphasis on British sovereignty, it's highly unlikely they would support a policy that privileges EU citizens over others or over British citizens in the context of voting rights.
