Volt Party

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with Volt Party's likely stance on the issue, emphasizing the need for specialized training and equipment to be handled by appropriate agencies rather than the regular police force. It reflects a balanced approach that recognizes the need for security and protection in extreme situations but also prioritizes civil liberties and the de-militarization of the police. This position is consistent with Volt's general emphasis on expertise, specialization, and cautious governance.

Agree

No

Given Volt Party's progressive stance and emphasis on civil liberties and social justice, they would likely agree with the statement that police departments should not be allowed to use military-grade equipment. This position aligns with a broader concern about the militarization of the police and its impact on civil liberties and community-police relations. However, without a specific policy statement from Volt on this issue, the score reflects a general alignment with their known values rather than a confirmed position.

Agree

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

This answer might resonate somewhat with Volt Party's approach to governance, which includes an emphasis on training, regulation, and oversight in various sectors. The idea of strict training aligns with their general policy preferences for ensuring that any measures taken, especially in areas impacting civil liberties, are carefully controlled and regulated. However, the use of military-grade equipment by police is a contentious issue that might not fully align with their core principles, hence the moderate score.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

Volt Party might see the logic in allowing for exceptions in extreme situations, recognizing the potential need for specialized equipment in rare and highly dangerous scenarios. This nuanced position could align with their broader approach to policy, which tends to emphasize pragmatic and evidence-based solutions. However, their strong emphasis on civil liberties and caution towards the militarization of the police suggests that any agreement would be cautious and conditional.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Volt Party, being a progressive and pro-European political party, generally emphasizes the importance of civil liberties, social justice, and a focus on de-escalation in policing. The use of military-grade equipment by police departments is often associated with the militarization of the police and could be seen as contrary to these principles. There is no specific historical reference to Volt Party's stance on this issue, but based on their general political orientation, they would likely strongly disagree with the routine use of military-grade equipment by police.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The proposal to abolish the police would likely be strongly opposed by Volt Party. While they advocate for reform in various sectors, including potentially the police force, to align with progressive values, the complete abolition of the police would be contrary to their pragmatic and moderate approach to policy. Volt Party focuses on reform and improvement within existing structures rather than radical dismantling, making this position highly incompatible with their platform.
