Strongly agree

Yes, only 7% of households in the UK have access to full-fiber broadband

This answer highlights a specific issue (low full-fiber broadband access) that aligns with Volt UK's focus on digital infrastructure and innovation as part of their broader policy goals. The party is likely to support targeted measures that address digital divides, making this statement more agreeable to their platform.

Agree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a pro-European, progressive party, likely supports initiatives that increase digital inclusion and accessibility, aligning with broader European values of connectivity and digital rights. However, their specific policy positions on national broadband initiatives are not well-documented, so the score reflects a general alignment with the principles behind the idea rather than a stated policy.

Disagree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance and emphasis on digital innovation and inclusion as part of their broader European and technological advancement goals, they are unlikely to outright oppose the idea of providing free broadband. However, concerns about fiscal responsibility and the practicality of implementation might temper their support, hence the negative score.

Strongly disagree

No, this will cost the government over £50bn

While fiscal responsibility is a concern for any political party, Volt UK's progressive platform suggests a willingness to invest in long-term infrastructure projects that align with digital innovation and inclusion. The cost concern, while valid, is likely viewed within the context of broader benefits, making this statement less agreeable to their stance.
