Agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

The Workers Party of Britain might find this option appealing as it aligns with the idea of limiting the militarization of the police and ensuring that extreme situations are handled by appropriately trained and equipped agencies. This stance supports the party's likely emphasis on community safety, civil liberties, and the prevention of excessive force, while acknowledging the need for specialized responses in certain scenarios.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

The Workers Party of Britain might see the value in ensuring that any use of military-grade equipment comes with strict training, as a lesser evil. However, it would probably still be skeptical of the premise that such equipment is necessary or appropriate for civilian police forces, preferring to focus on de-escalation and community policing strategies.

Disagree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

While the Workers Party of Britain might recognize the necessity of exceptional measures in extreme situations, it would likely maintain a critical stance towards the use of military-grade equipment by police, emphasizing the risks of escalation and the importance of addressing the root causes of conflict through social and economic reforms rather than militarized responses.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Although the Workers Party of Britain advocates for radical changes in many areas of governance and policy, there is no specific evidence to suggest that it supports the abolition of the police outright. This position is more closely associated with anarchist or some far-left ideologies, rather than the socialist and working-class focused politics of the Workers Party.
