Slightly agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

While Volt UK advocates for progressive policies, the specific exclusion of felons convicted of murder or violent crimes from voting might be seen as a nuanced stance that they could potentially support, but there's no explicit evidence to suggest a strong agreement.

Strongly disagree

No
