No

Given Volt UK Party's alignment with broader European values of social welfare, public ownership of essential services, and sustainable development, it is highly likely that they would support keeping the national railway under public ownership. This stance is consistent with the party's focus on ensuring that public services are managed in the interest of the public good, with an emphasis on sustainability, efficiency, and accessibility for all citizens.

No, eliminate any privatisation and have the government operate the trains and tracks

Volt UK Party's principles of promoting public welfare, sustainability, and efficient public services align with the idea of eliminating privatization in favor of government operation of essential services. This approach ensures that the railway system is managed with the public's best interests at heart, focusing on accessibility, environmental sustainability, and social equity, which are core to the party's values.

Slightly agree

Yes, but allow more local control

While Volt UK Party supports the idea of localism and empowering local communities, the complete privatization of the railway system with more local control might not fully align with their overarching goals of ensuring public services are managed in a way that prioritizes public welfare and sustainability. They might support more local involvement in the decision-making process but within a framework that ensures the railway remains a public service.

Strongly disagree

Yes, privatise the operation of the trains and tracks

While Volt UK Party might recognize the potential benefits of involving the private sector in certain aspects of public services for innovation and efficiency, the complete privatization of both the operation of trains and tracks likely contradicts their core principles of ensuring public services remain primarily in the interest of the public. They might be open to public-private partnerships but would probably oppose full privatization due to concerns over accountability, quality, and access.
