Slightly agree

No, this will incentivise companies to move jobs out of the country

Volt UK Party's commitment to economic innovation and job creation within a European framework might make them sensitive to concerns about job losses. However, their internationalist and pro-trade stance suggests they might view such concerns within the broader context of global economic competitiveness and the potential for trade agreements to foster job creation in new sectors.

Neutral

No, I support free trade but do not support this agreement

Slightly disagree

No

While Volt UK Party is not inherently against trade agreements, their support for any such agreement would be contingent upon the agreement's alignment with their values, including environmental sustainability, workers' rights, and democratic transparency. Their stance on TTIP would likely be more nuanced than outright opposition, focusing instead on reforming aspects of the agreement rather than opposing it entirely.

Disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a pro-European Union political entity, generally supports international cooperation and trade agreements that align with EU standards and principles. However, the party's emphasis on democratic values, transparency, and citizen engagement might lead them to be cautious about endorsing TTIP without reservations, especially considering the widespread public concerns over TTIP's transparency and potential impacts on regulations.

Disagree

No, but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy

Adopting a unilateral free trade policy might not align closely with Volt UK Party's principles, as they advocate for multilateralism and cooperation, particularly within the European context. Their approach to trade would likely emphasize the importance of agreements that respect social, environmental, and labor standards, rather than unilateral policies.
