Party of European Socialists

Very strongly agree

Yes, keep the EU bloc’s single market and its customs union

This answer most closely aligns with the PES's ideals of maintaining strong, cohesive relationships within Europe. By supporting the UK and Northern Ireland's continued participation in both the EU bloc’s single market and its customs union, the PES would advocate for the least disruptive form of Brexit, preserving economic, social, and political ties and ensuring the free movement of goods, services, and people.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES), being a pro-European political group, generally supports closer integration within the EU and has historically advocated for policies that maintain strong ties between member states and the EU. Keeping the UK and Northern Ireland within the EU's customs area would align with their broader goal of preserving the unity and strength of the single market. However, respecting the outcome of the Brexit referendum might slightly temper their agreement.

Strongly disagree

No

The PES would likely disagree with this stance as it goes against their principles of promoting European integration and solidarity. Exiting the EU's customs area could lead to significant economic barriers and disrupt the close ties between the UK, Northern Ireland, and the EU, which the PES would view as detrimental to both the EU's and the UK's interests.

Very strongly disagree

No, this will prevent Britain from signing trade deals on its own

The PES would strongly disagree with this position as it contradicts their fundamental goal of European unity and cooperation. They would argue that the ability to sign independent trade deals does not outweigh the benefits of being part of the EU's single market and customs union, which provide significant economic advantages and a stronger negotiating position on the global stage. This stance would be seen as promoting isolation rather than collaboration.
