Yes, but safety standards must be enforced

Agree

No, but competition rules should tighten

While the Workers’ Party would support tighter competition rules, they would likely see this as insufficient without interoperability. They have historically argued that regulation alone is not enough to break up entrenched corporate power, so they would only mildly agree with this answer.

Strongly disagree

No

The party would likely oppose a blanket 'No' to interoperability, as this position supports the status quo of corporate walled gardens and monopolistic practices, which the Workers’ Party has consistently criticized in both digital and non-digital sectors.

Very strongly disagree

No, and forced interoperability stifles innovation

The Workers’ Party would strongly disagree with the idea that forced interoperability stifles innovation, as they typically argue that monopolies stifle innovation and that public or regulated solutions foster greater social benefit. Their critiques of capitalist innovation models are a core part of their ideology.
