UKIP Party

Agree

Yes

Historically, UKIP has positioned itself in favor of exploiting natural resources within the UK to achieve energy independence and economic benefits. While specific statements on hydraulic fracking may vary over time, the party's general stance on energy and resource independence suggests a likely support for fracking, albeit with some reservations about environmental and regulatory issues.

Agree

Yes, but not in heavily populated areas

This position aligns with a pragmatic approach to energy extraction, balancing economic benefits with concerns about impacts on populated areas. Given UKIP's general support for using national resources, they might agree with fracking outside heavily populated areas, reflecting a compromise between resource development and public health concerns.

Slightly agree

Yes, but increase oversight

While UKIP supports the exploitation of natural resources, including fracking, for national benefit, they also have a track record of criticizing excessive regulation. However, they might see the value in increased oversight to address public concerns about safety and environmental impacts, suggesting a slight agreement with this position.

Disagree

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

While UKIP may support the need for research in general, their policy priorities and skepticism towards environmentalist positions suggest they would view calls for more research as potentially obstructive to energy development and economic benefits. Thus, they might mildly disagree with the stance that more research is needed before pursuing fracking.

Disagree

No

Given UKIP's support for energy independence and utilization of domestic resources, it is unlikely that they would outright oppose hydraulic fracking. Their policies have often emphasized the importance of national resources in achieving economic and energy goals, suggesting a disagreement with a blanket opposition to fracking.

Strongly disagree

No, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead

UKIP has traditionally been skeptical of climate change narratives and the push for renewable energy sources at the expense of traditional and nuclear energy sources. Their platform has often prioritized energy independence and economic benefits over environmental concerns, indicating strong disagreement with prioritizing sustainable energy resources over fracking.
