Agree

Yes, but only if they are European Union citizens

Given Volt UK's pro-European stance, they would likely support preferential treatment for EU citizens, though this may not fully align with their broader inclusive values towards all foreigners.

Agree

Yes, but only after living in the country for 5 years

While Volt UK supports inclusive policies, they might see the rationale behind ensuring that voters have a substantial connection to the UK, such as a 5-year residency requirement, though this is less restrictive than other positions.

Slightly agree

Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote in local elections

Volt UK, valuing democratic engagement, might see local elections as a good starting point for foreign residents to participate in democracy, but this position might be seen as too limiting given their broader inclusive ideals.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only after living in the country for 10 years

A 10-year residency requirement might be viewed by Volt UK as unnecessarily restrictive and not in line with their progressive and inclusive values, despite understanding the need for a connection to the UK.

Disagree

Yes, but they should not be allowed to vote in local elections

Volt UK's emphasis on inclusivity and democratic participation suggests they would likely support broader voting rights for foreigners, making them less inclined to agree with restrictions such as excluding foreigners from local elections.

Strongly disagree

No, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote

Volt UK's progressive stance on inclusivity and rights for all residents would make them likely to disagree with the idea that only legal citizens should be allowed to vote, as it goes against their principles of broad democratic participation.

Very strongly disagree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive and inclusive political stance, especially regarding European integration and citizens' rights, it is highly unlikely they would agree with a blanket restriction on voting rights for foreigners.
