I see the human body the same and without enough knowledge of body and its working we won't even be able to tell if we need medical attention or not and may even use it or misuse.

Not only is it a contributing factor to other health issues but it also impacts the quality of life for the affected children. It's imperative that children are taught good nutritional advice at an earlier age. Currently, childhood obesity is on the rise and will only get worse due to current children, who then become parents (and teaching their own children) having very little knowledge in this field.",NO,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it okay for people to walk their dogs on the beach during the summer?,"I think that, as long as a dog has a reliable temperament and is well behaved, it should be allowed on the beach during Summer. If this is not the case, I think that as long as the owner ensures they are kept on a lead, this would also be ok. Beaches are generally very open spaces, with lots of room for dogs to run around and stretch their legs. If a beach is accessible to humans, it should also be to well behaved dogs. Another point to consider is whether the owner is responsible. A dog should not be allowed on the beach if its owners are not prepared to manage its behaviour and clean up after it. The worst thing in the world would be to sit down on a beach and find out that you've accident",NO,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,58,"Would it be better for society if everyone worked an 8-hour day, 5 days a week?",I think this type of workday gives too little personal time. It's an outdated and old concept that started being used around the 18-19 century and we have kept it since. Some jobs are very different to other and require costly different work hours however the majority of people work 40 hours a week. There should be more shift work and no more than 4 work days a week.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Is the government failing to tackle child obesity?,"Yes, the Uk government has been slow to confront this issue. This partly due to the libertarian leanings of some ministers, and also the influence of big business and dubious think tanks like the Institute of Economic Affairs. The government has also been slow to demand that schools ensure their pupils are more active and take part in meaningful physical education. Finally, there has been little effort to crack down on the advertising of harmful snacks to children, which is often intended to put pressure on their parents to buy unhealthy items.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should people be encouraged to buy a home in London?,"It's not so much a case of people being encouraged to buy a home in London, more that people should be encouraged to live within their means. People are contantly overstretching themselves because they want to have a certain size house or live in a location they can't afford rather than doing things the old fashioned way, starting small and working up to better things. People today don't understand this concept, they want everything now without working for it, constantly relying on credit instead of saving.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should we ban smoking?,Smoking should not be banned. Adults should be free to choose what activities they engage in as long as it doesn't cause harm to others. Also the taxes on smoking generate revenue so that's another reason not to ban it. Also banning it would fail as the black market would then supply the product and we saw what a miserable failure that was with prohibition.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Is it wrong to send your child to a private school?,I don't think its necessarily wrong but I personally don't see the need for it. Of course if someone is able to afford that and feel that this is the best option for their kids than it's their choice.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is the NHS doing enough to improve the health of the average person?,"From my point of view it is probably doing more than enough to improve the health of the average person and not doing enough to treat people when they get seriously ill. There are a lot of NHS campaigns about reducing obesity and reducing the risk of diabetes, trying to get people to lead 'healthier' lives which may be a good thing but it does divert resources away from actually treating people when they get sick. So since I am not sure how effective these campaigns really are and that they don't mean anything to me because I am not obese and never likely to be and try to lead a healthy life anyway, I would rather the money spend on those campaigns was spent on reducing waiting lists and pro",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Would it be better to have a President rather than a Prime Minister?,"it wont be of much diffrence. in my opinion, they seem the same to me.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should Britain ban pesticides to protect bees?,"it depends on the type of pesticide being used. some pesticides can be very beneficial to crop growing but others can have a great impact on local environments. If there are pesticides being used that harm local wildlife, including bees, then these should be banned. there are alternatives to using harmful pesticides that yield the same results.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should the voting age be reduced to 16?,"I don't think the voting age should be changed, it works as it is without adding more voters and increasing the burden on the tax paying public.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the UK government subsidize sports in state schools?,I think playing sports is extremely good for the physical and mental development of children. It can also be a good career choice for many people. It should be seen as a fundamental part of the curriculum and so sports should receive funding in state schools just as other subjects do.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should the UK government ban the sale of plastic bags?,"My view is it would be good to phase out the sale of plastic bags, however, in the meantime, companies should be looking at what type of materials could be used for bags which are durable and can be used repeatedly, but does not do as much harm to the environment. I also feel that companies should not be charging for paper bags as these are much more environmentally friendly and companies never charged for bags originally before the government was trying to cut down on the use of plastic bags.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,76,Should all new homes be required to have solar panels?,I think that it should be yes as this would help with the cost of things and help the environment as we move forward. If I was having a new house built I would definitely want it as it would be cost efficient and benefit me in the long run.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Does climate change pose a threat to the UK?,"Yes it does. People who believe it doesn't are delusional. Changing weather will affect the plants, kill wildlife and more extreme weathers will lead to loss of crops and food. Floods will cause damage to houses, heatwaves will cause fires etc. This will obviously affect the economy. Climate issues abroad will affect global food security and push prices of food, energy and essentials up, affecting our economy too. We will see more refugees from areas affected too.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,58,Should we introduce a 4-day working week?,"I think a four day working week would give everyone more time to do things they want to do, everyone would have a bit extra time to spend with family, kids and to catch up on house work. I think it would make people want to go to work if they know they get that extra day off.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we be using new gene editing techniques to prevent children being born with genetic disorders?,"I was a little unsure on this, it really depends on how the techniques are carried out and also what negative effects it could have when the child is born. There would be a lot of factors to look into, especially if the technique could cause other problems in the future.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,"Is it ok to use algorithms that estimate the probability that an individual is going to commit a crime, and use that probability to determine the severity of the punishment?","This is a move in the wrong direction and is essentially punishing people for something they have not done. Human behaviour is very difficult to predict. Circumstances change for people, for better or worse, and and that in itself could cause a change in behaviour. It is morally and ethically wrong to punish people for things they have not done. There is also the question of who will be deciding the punishment for something that has not even happened.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,Should all religious schools receive some public funding?,"Yes, at the end of they day a school is a school regardless of what they teach and what they don't. I believe every school should be equal and should have the funding for the young minds they teach. Just people a school has other beliefs than another doesn't mean they should not get funding like others. Everyone is equal and not funding religious schools is not seen as equal in my personal view as every child has a right to educations and not funding specific school will disadvantage the young minds as there are our future and the point i keep making is everyone is entitled to education and without the correct funding or suppliers schools wouldn't be able to do this. Religious educations is ",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Should governments subsidise arts and culture?,"Yes - definitely! Arts and culture play a HUGE part in all communities! Arts and culture brings in tourists from all walks of life, which equals more money for everyone, creating a much better economy. Arts and culture is a great part of education, history and enjoyment for all. It also helps local communities out if the government were to fund local artists.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,93,Should everyone have to learn a foreign language?,I think it is important to learn at least one foreign language because it is exciting to be able to travel out and not have to experience language barrier. Learning other language also show our capacity to not be limited to our immediate surroundings and values,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Is it ok to buy products from countries with poor human rights records?,If you think that human rights are important you should not buy products produced in countries with poor human rights records. Boycotting these goods is a good way to show the government of those countries that human rights matter. The foreign currency income those products generate will be of great importance to those governments. The loss of that income could bring about change. Doing nothing changes nothing,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we reduce the voting age to 12?,"No, we shouldn't. There is enough politic illiteracy in people aged 18 and over that we really don't need to be giving the vote to children who (on the whole) don't have enough knowledge to be able to make that kind of decision. Their brains are also still developing. Finally, there is a big risk that they will vote as their parents tell them, or that their parents will abuse their children's postal vote.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we have greater controls over the use of pesticides?,The use of pesticides is causing enormous harm to nature and depleting the insect population. Harmful pesticides need to be banned or very carefully regulated. Governments around the world should be pressurised to legislate against the use of harmful pesticides and national and international regulatory bodies should be able to punish users of harmful pesticides.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should all schoolchildren receive a free daily hot meal?,"Yes, in my opinion all school children should receive a free daily hot meal as it helps individuals to get nutrients etc. Also, not all parents can afford to pay for school meals so by issuing free school meals, all pupils are given equal choice. It also prevents pupils from just living off of junk food, at least they will have had one hot meal per day. Also, if parents are struggling with food shopping etc, at least their child has had one good meal.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Should people who do not wear face masks in shops (except those exempt) be fined?,I don't think people who do not wear face masks in shops should be fined because I don't believe that science has shown us that it's very effective at preventing the spread of viruses. Plus I am strongly opposed to any government overreach. It is a slippery slope in my opinion. If if was demonstrated to us that wearing facemasks out in public is highly effective at preventing transmission then I would be more on board with the idea.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Does the media have a responsibility to report things accurately?,Yes. This is where people will be informed of world events and essentially everything. The media has to be accurate with all forms of reporting to not mislead their viewer base and to not spread inaccurate information which would be treated as truth. There is no good reason to report things inaccurately.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,57,Do humans have an innate ability to be moral?,Yes. Humans innately know right and wrong and feel when they are doing good or bad. Religion historially has played a big role in developing this but through generations morality is now ingrained and inate.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban single use plastics?,"My instinctive answer is yes because it feels like single use plastics are a relic of the 20th century before we had a full picture of how much damage they can do when left in the environment. However I am aware that not every purpose may be sufficiently fulfilled without them, and without that information I do not feel particularly strongly about this opinion. I would need to read more.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should children have the right to choose their own school?,Children are too young to decide which school they should attend. They can not judge the benifits and drawbacks of different schools. They cannot take in account other factor apart from what they want.,MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Should we support the European Union?,I think in some sense it is important to support the European Union as the UK for example may find a time where they may go back into the EU. Due to this it is important that they support them in some way or another as it could help them later on in the future. However some may think otherwise especially if they do not need to enter the EU again.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK recognise Palestine as a country?,The difficult subject has only one answer and that is that Palestine needs to be a country. It is surely the only peaceful way forward for the Arab and Jewish people to live side by side and therefore the UK should recognise this.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should we make employers legally responsible for improving their employees’ physical and mental health?,Yes. It is important that employers have an influence on improving their employees physical and mental health as it serves beneficial for both parties. The employee will feel better and as a result produce better work which is considered beneficial personally and professionally,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should all parents have the right to tell their children what school to go to?,"I am torn on this subject as I do think parents should have a say in which school their child goes to, especially at primary level. However, at secondary level i think that the child should have quite a lot of input into which school they attend. After all, it is they who will be attending and they will need to feel comfortable there to do their best academically. However, if the child purely wants to choose a school based on where their friends will be attending rather than if the school is right for them, then I feel the parents should step in and make the decision for them.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should the UK invest more in large-scale infrastructure projects?,Yes. Investing in projects create more job opportunities in the country and attract investors,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,Are taxes too high?,"I do recognise the need for taxes and that they bring collective benefit to all, provide cover for the needy and can be used wisely to provide jobs/growth etc. Annoyingly, the administration of tax revenue is politicised and some tax is wasted so yes, they are too high.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,54,Should we ban the use of animals in circuses?,"Using wild or domestic animals for the entertainment of humans is barbaric and needs to be banned worldwide. It is beyond cruel, with animals forced to do things that are unnatural and living in the smallest cages. They are beaten and forced to do things that we are supposed to 'laugh at', which is unfair on these poor, defenceless creatures.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,"Should the government pay to send students to school, or should students pay to go to school?",I think there should be free schooling for everyone this can only be good for the future of the country without this you will end up with a poorly educated population. Those that can afford to pay already do.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,90,Should we make divorce harder?,"no, divorce is already hard enough, both emotionally and financially. It sometimes seems that the financial cost keeps people from divorce, it is just a way of making money for lawyers. Perhaps on religeous grounds, but that only applies in some cases",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we have a law banning the use of plastic bags?,"I don't suggest to ban all the use of plastic bags, it needs a various of research about the plastic bags using in our lives, what is urgent need to ban ASAP and what is less.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Should people be allowed to buy drugs on the internet?,"I don't know indeed as I never take a drug, even I know drug looks it will exist for a long time",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,47,Should we ban gambling on sporting events?,"In my opinion we should not ban gambling on sporting events because freedom is important. Gambling is not a crime like stealing or violence. It's merely some people freely choosing to engage in a non-violent action. Although I don't gamble much at all myself, I would perceive the banning of it as an offense to freedom and in that way it would impact me, as I value freedom and principle of freedom. You need a good reason to ban things. Something that is non-violent and consensual and only effects one voluntary party, is not harmful nor should be banned.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should we get rid of compulsory education for children?,We should not get rid of compulsory education for children because it is necessary.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should government spend less money on education and more on prisons?,No I don't think the government should spend less money on education and more money on prisons because I believe education is more important.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should the minimum age for drinking alcohol be increased to 21?,"I think that a high legal drinking age encourages people to rebel and drink far more than they would have with a lower drinking age. By this age it is easy to obtain alcohol through others and it is hard to fully restrict who is drinking, so I think that a drinking age of 21 is largely useless and simply encourages people to drink instead. Countries where the drinking age is lower, like France, have fewer instances of binge drinking in young adults and teens compared to places like America with a high drinking age. Not demonising alcohol, but properly educating teens about it and making sure they do not gain an unhealthy relationship with it, is more effective.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we allow genetically modified crops?,"Provided that sufficient research and testing has been done of the GM crops to ascertain there are no negative quality or long-term health implications, I believe they should be allowed. Due to the growing population of the world and climate change, crop yields are already becoming insufficient / lacking. GM crops may help to address this issue if they can provide more food per square meter or survive in harsher conditions for example.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Is it right for the UK to use some of the money from taxes to help poor people in other countries?,"As individual who pay taxes, we should get a say as to where this money goes, and so using taxes to help those less fortunate is only a good thing. It uplifts people and communities. It would also help improve their basics. Corporations who pay tax can help uplift people and communities by improving their quality of life, things such as houses, waters, food, sanitation. Every working person/business pays tax, so why not use it to uplift, there is never an excuse for maintaining poverty.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we increase taxes to reduce inequality?,We should not increase taxes because there are lots of working clas citizens who are struggling with rising costs of living but only just scraping by themselves and they get no benefits or support. Only the super wealthy should have taxes increased otherwise it is not fair to those who are working hard and barely making ends meet. This would make things even harder for the working class.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,58,Should we have a four-day work week?,"Yes, we should have a four-day-week. Fewer days we have to accomplish something creates a kind of pressure to get on with the job. Often, having less time propels us to focus more and I think it's more conducive to productivity. This coupled with the prospect of having more time off can be a great motivation. The increased free time will make people happier, will enable them to spend more time recovering and more family time, so they will be more refreshed when they actually have to work.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,90,"Should we keep cash and cheques, or move entirely to electronic payment?",Personally i think we should keep cash and not move entirely to electronic payment. Some people (older generation) may struggle otherwise and it is not fair on them. Also some industries need cash to survive ie coin operated businesses so moving to electronic payment would seriously hamper them. I understand that movement to electronic payment will kill the black economy but i strongly think there is still a place for cash in our society.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should there be a universal basic income in the UK?,I think this is a start. But there would have to be some specifics that ensure that it cant be abused. i.e the basic income of those who dont work or contribute in some way should not be the same as those who do. This to me would be similar to a minimum wage too ensure that all working people receive an income that meets or is topped up to an acceptable level that allows a working person a reasonable standard of living. It shouldn't however come at a huge cost and ideally would be in line with a universal income in Europe to help maintain immigration levels. i.e we dont to pay everybody a wage that is attractively higher than anywhere else as immigration would surge unreasonably. (unless ind,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should the UK invest in a high-speed rail line between its major cities ?,The Uk should invest and bring back into public hands all rail networks we waste to much money in paying franchises and not getting them to invest back in the railroads. I am of the firm opinion that these servicews have failed us and our money goes back into Europe investing in there own railways.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,is it better for British people to buy british products?,"I think it would be better for British people to buy british products for a couple of reasons. First, this would support local economy and manufacturing facilities. Second, this would reduce the carbon emission due to transportation from imported countries.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Should the National Health Service (NHS) be privatised?,The NHS should not be privatised because that will put profit before care. Privatisation will inevitably lead to all sorts of problems not currently encountered. Although it is not ideally run at the moment I think it can recover as a public service.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should we use more of the UK's land to grow food?,"Yes, I believe if it is possible then the land should be used more. We already in the U.K grow sustainable Organic fruit and vegetables, growing more would be beneficial to fight poverty in the U.K and more environmentally friendly by reducing the emissions involved in obtaining fruit and vegetables from aboard.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should companies be required to pay a living wage?,"Of course, the inflation is raising higher at the moment, also find it trend to continue for a long time, our living condition looks to get worse. So the basic income protection is very important for most of people",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should we have a basic income?,"Yes as it would provide a safety net for all citizens, reduce poverty and inequality, and promote social stability. It could help alleviate the effects of automation and technological change on the job market, therefore encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban all single-use plastics?,"I think they should be banned in cases where usage of it can be avoided, the oceans are getting clogged up with plastics and other rubbish, and I feel something needs to be done about it, as it affects sea life. Maybe offer companies a subsidy to cut out single use plastics would be a potential solution.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,37,Should the government intervene in the housing market by offering subsidies to those who want to buy their first house?,"The government should provide some financial help to those who want to buy their first house if they are unable to afford to do so themselves. This help should however be based on financial need. Housing is becoming increasingly difficult for people who are starting out on the housing ladder, with house price inflation significantly exceeding wage inflation. There is also a shortage of good quality rental properties &, when they are available, are often much more expensive than the cost of paying a mortgage. Poor housing can lead to many social problems",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Is it a good idea to reduce the voting age to 16?,"Yes, I think that at 16 is a better age to introduce younger people into the political decisions of our country, understanding how it works from a younger age means we will grown to make the better decisions down the line. I think a lot of older people are stuck in there ways in who they vote for and usually its not voting for what's best for there country but voting for who they know and this for many years has crippled our country",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,76,Should we subsidize the purchase of solar panels?,"The implementation of renewable energy needs to be made more appealing and affordable to the masses. Solar panels can be very easily consolidated onto existing buildings, so are a quick and easy solution for renewable energy generation. However, they are currently very expensive, so a large percentage of potential users cannot afford to generate their own renewable energy. Wanting to make a positive contribution to the climate crisis should not be stopped because of monetary barriers, so the government should be encouraging a more wide-spread implementation by subsidising initial costs of solar panels.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Should we do more to tackle climate change?,"We may need to do more to tackle climate change, as the earth's temperature is increasing at an alarming rate, causing catastrophic events such as floods, droughts, and other extreme weather conditions. The worsening climate may make the Earth inhabitable for humans in the future.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should all students at state schools be able to attend university for free?,The cost of this would be huge. It would also encourage people who aren't realistically suited to University to attend. This would create a gulf in other industries / apprenticeships etc that couldnt be filled and have a double negative impact on the economy. It also discriminates slightly against people who dont attend state school. It also pointlessly pays for children who attend state school but have very wealthy parents. Its too broadstroke and too expensive. There should be a tier system.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Should we increase taxes to spend more on our health service?,"I believe that we should, the NHS has long waiting times and are put under constant pressure, especially during covid. We should focus on taxing only those who can afford it however. We do not want people to be in debt due to the increase in taxes. Having more money to go towards the health service will improve the lives of everyone.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should the law be changed to make it easier for companies to hire people for short periods of time?,The law should not really be changed as the law currently protects the employees. If the law is changed to make it easier for companies to hire people for short periods than the law will be favouring employers and the companies. Employees need protecting and should be given security.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should we introduce a law that says all adults must vote in all elections?,"I think this is really important to do. Politics affects each and every one of us, no matter how interested we are in politics, it is something we need to face up to and take action within. Therefore, if a government is supposed to be truly representative of the feelings and people of this country that we simply must make it a requirement that all adults vote in all elections. Of course, there will be instances where people vote randomly because they don't have an interest, but this would surely help us generate a more representative government.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should we legalise recreational cannabis use?,We should legalise recreational cannabis because it does more harm to lock people up for possession of recreational amounts,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the UK provide some sort of subsidy to poorer parts of the UK?,"Yes, the UK should provide some sort of subsidy to the poorer parts of the UK. This will help people living in those parts in making their living standards better. It'll make them feel included and that they are cared for. It is the governments responsibility to care for their poor citizens as well. By providing subsidy to the poorer parts, the government will make the citizens happy and happy citizens make happy and better societies.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Should we subsidize electric cars?,"I have a hybred car that uses petrol but also uses the battery when it can and therefore gives many miles to the gallon. I much prefer this dual option to pure electric cars. It is very expensive to have an electric car and with the current cost of living crisis I think we should not subsidize electric cars, the money should go elsewhere helping people with inflated bills.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the government fund more public art in the UK?,"Public art creates career opportunities for a large number of Art professionals and venues. Therefore, it is extremely important that the industry and personnels get the support. The Art industry is one of the fundamental industries, which seeks to answer several questions in terms of humanity, needs, history, ageing and races. The Art is an integral part of us as human beings, the more we pursue it, the more our discovery, as people. A nation without Art does not exist on earth.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,Should we increase the tax on new cars to make it more expensive to own a car?,"Personally this wouldn't affect my much as I don't have a car and travel by public transport. Selfishly, I would prefer fewer cars on the road so I would be in favour. This would help with congestion and traffic. More importantly, it would discourge the use of cars and thus have a better impact on society. We could also use the additional tax to fund better public transport routes.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should we have more nuclear power plants?,"No, my personal opinion is we shouldn't have more nuclear power plants. My reason behind my opinion is because I don't have any trust in our government whatsoever and I do not trust that they do enough about the radiation that affects the surrounding environments. I also worry about the likes of war, would they not be one of the first targets? To cause a leak or explosion of some kind? I'm thinking Chenoybl (sorry about my spelling on that one) and the devestating affect that had, why build more?",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,37,Should people who can't pay their mortgage have their house repossessed?,"No, this is very drastic on people who may be struggling. The bank should help them to get back on a financial footing that means they can afford their repayments, such as extending the mortgage. There is no benefit to society of making someone homeless and it will cost the government far more in the long run supporting people if that happens.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Is the UK doing enough to stop global warming?,"no. concentrated efforts to invest in a wider array of renewalble sources energy best suited to the UK, especially tidal, simply isnt being undertaken. we also have great potential for geothermal energy which appears to be forgotten in out net 0 stratagies.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should parents be allowed to make medical decisions for their children?,"I would lean toward yes, in general. Partly because it's so difficult to manage every little thing a parent does to their child. I mean legally, this is how it works, right? The parent is the carer of their child. But if it's super serious or super obvious that the parents ""care"" basically equates to neglect, then someone else should intervene. But for minor things, like what diet the parents prescribes, or maybe even allowing a glass of wine when they are under the legal drinking limit, maybe these things can be left to the best determination of the parents.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Would it be a good idea to have 'no-fly' zones where people are not allowed to fly an airplane?,"Yes, with global warming being an increasingly detrimental problem the world is facing, 'no fly' zones would be perfect to help cut emissions as planes are a huge contributor to global warming. There are also plenty of other means of travel and so people would still be able to go where they need.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Does climate change pose a threat to the UK?,"It seems to affect some other countries at least, which will indirectly affect the UK. There will be crises that the UK will have to act to, and the UK won't be able to rely on these countries as much. If summers get hotter then people will be less productive as they are uncomfortable.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,Should all primary and secondary schools be free?,"I think that everyone should be given the same opportunities in life, so yes I think that they should all be free. I don't think it benefits society as a whole by allowing people to receive a better education than other children purely because they were lucky to be born into money or a better location.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,95,Should we encourage young people to be entrepreneurs?,I think young people should be encouraged to start buisnesses as this can often lead to innovation and further learning for the human race in general and the economy. iI feel this currently isn't taught much but it should be so kids know that there are other avenues to explore apart from working for someone else. Some people work better in this way.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,96,Should the government intervene to make sure that employees of more successful companies are paid more generously?,"This may alleviate some income inequality through the redistribution of profits. Employees who helped generate those profits are adequately protected. On the other hand, some may argue that government intervention may lead to unintended consequences such as job or hour cuts or lead to higher prices. For that sake, it may be best to weigh the pros and cons on a case by case basis",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Should people be allowed to keep wild animals as pets?,It is not ethical for people to keep wild animals as pets. WIld aniimals have specific needs that are difficult to meet in a domestic setting and their natural instincts can lead to dangerous situations for both parties.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we reduce the voting age to 12?,"Absolutely not. A child at 12 should not be allowed to vote at the age of 12 unless they are deciding what they want to watch on Disney Channel. 12 is way too young for a child to make a decision that could affect their future and should remain at the age it is now, as voting is a very serious challenge.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should the UK impose a ban on selling cars that run on fossil fuels?,"Whilst i feel this is going to happen if we like it or not, if the system is in place and we are generating enough green energy to run all of the nations cars on electricity then I am all for a ban on the sale of cars than run on fossil fuels. One main thing that concerns me is the price of electric cars, in order to feel completely comfortable with the ban, I would need reassurance that lower income families would still have access to personal transport relative to what they have now.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Is there value in allowing privately-owned media?,"There needs to be a private media so all opinions can be expressed free of any interference from the state. Its also important for privately-owned media to exist to ensure the freedom of the press. Their should be caveats though to running a media company, they should not be allowed to express harmful opinions or push any sort of misinformation and need to be governed by an independent media watchdog.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,54,Should we ban the production of food products containing palm oil?,"Yes, we should ban all products containing palm oil. There is way too much deforrestation caused by the production of palm oil, orangutans, elephants and rhino's are all running out of habitat and will become extinct soon. Palm Oil farming is also a major overall contributor to greenhouse gasses rising, and therefore global warming.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,58,Are people more productive when they work from home?,They are more likely to prioritise main job tasks and do them faster without interruptions. All workl could be done withing few hours. So I think they are more productive.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should people who do not have UK citizenship be allowed to vote in UK elections?,As people who have just entered the UK they might not know the state of the UK as much as people that have been living in it for a long period of time or since their birth. At the same time it would be difficult for people to have an interest and be serious about votes when its not their long term plan to stay in the country.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should all people be able to legally immigrate to the UK?,It is quite a controversial topic but regardless my opinion on this is always more positive in a sense that there should always be a pathway for immigration to be achieved and not be abused by subsequent loopholes of said regulation.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban all single-use packaging of consumer goods?,"I feel if the packaging/ item is not biodegradable it SHOULD be banned! I believe Microsoft has innervated a way for their packaging to be more eco friendly. They should use less of those plastic bubbles and more of those packaging peanuts that dissolve under water. Same thing with plastic bags at the grocery store, charging for them still has not made that much of an impact since people do not care. There should be more reusable recourses out there!",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the Prime Minister's office be open to the public?,"I think it should be open to the public, as it is not good in a democracy for the leaders of a country to be closed off from the public. The public should be able to apply for a slot to visit or conduct whatever business they need to. This will help with security, which is an important factor to be aware of as well with this, given the history of attacks against MP's.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,88,Should there be a higher tax on unhealthy foods?,"Personally, I don't think unhealthy foods should be taxed at a higher level than currently. The argument for would be to discourage people from buying such items, but in my view people will eat or drink what they like and will just divert money from another area in order to make up the difference a price rise would entail. I don't feel someone who, for example enjoys eating chips will suddenly switch to eating rice because ships have gone up in price. Punitive taxing of unhealthy food won't stop people choosing to eat it, it'll just make them poorer. The answer is to encourage parents to develop positive eating habits in their children. Unhealthy diets will take a generation or more to reset",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should the state pay for couples to freeze their sperm or eggs so they can have children when they are older?,The state should play no part meddling in the lives of the general population where it can be avoided. We do not have the excess funds in any case.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,97,Should we ban large stores from selling food items that are considered unhealthy?,"No, some people choose to eat foods that don't fall into the healthy category. It is down to personal choice. You can't take away that choice, it would be breaching human rights.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Should it be mandatory to wear a helmet while cycling?,If it is mandatory to wear a seatbelt when driving then I see no reason why it shouldn't also be mandatory to wear a helmet while cycling. A helmet is protecting the head and brain from serious injury and I'm sure there would be enough evidence to demonstrate that wearing them reduces the chance of serious injury and death. Wearing a helmet might not reduce accidents but it can reduce the serious harm caused to cyclists in accidents and if it isn't mandatory then some will choose not to because they don't like the appearance or wearing one or are too over confident and won't realise usually until it is too late. I think overall with safety it is better to take preventative action rather than,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Should companies be required to tell you where your clothes were made?,"Yes, if only for ethical reasons. Some countries have a poor record of factory working conditions. Sweat shops are undesirable, even though sometimes the jobs offered are the only ones available in that particular area. There is also the question of how many air miles are involved in the transport of these clothes.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,73,Should we allow more fracking for gas?,"In my opinion i think we should leave fracking alone. People are against it, it does seem to be as economical as first thought and it has proved disastrous in place where it has been used in the past. i think we should be focusing our efforts on generating more renewable and sustainable energy.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Is the quality of life in the UK higher or lower than it was 50 years ago?,"The past 50 years has seen a massive change in the quality of life for the better. Technology has meant that everyone has been brought along with the positive surge as it has become affordable for everyone. 50 years the thought of having a personal computer in you pocket was a dream, now even kids avail of this and the associated benefits.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,73,Should we allow fracking for shale gas in the UK?,"I do not think we should allow fracking. It aim is to release hard-to-reach gas which is a non-renewable source of energy. This is against our shared climate change agenda. I also think it is terrible to locals; water pressure, gas bubbles, mini earth quakes - all right on their door step. It an awful set of living conditions to force on people and its not worth the effort.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban non-essential plastics from supermarkets?,Plastics are a major source of pollution and harm to marine life. Banning non essential plastics could help promote a culture of sustainability and encourage consumers to be more mindful of the enviornmental impact.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should we require companies to give their workers a shorter working week?,"I do believe the decision should ultimately belong to the company itself on how to structure its work requirements. However, I'm a strong believer in flexible working conditions and a better work balance. I think this will only come about if there is external pressure on companies to adapt to new working styles. I don't have enough trust that companies will make this change of their own volition and prioritise the needs of the employees.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Should corporations be allowed to buy and sell the rights to use people’s data for advertising?,Corporations should not be allowed to buy and sell the rights to people's data for advertising. Those details are personal and who knows what the corporations will do with the information.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,89,Should police be allowed to stop and search a person for no reason at all?,Police should never be allowed to stop and search without good reason. Police have a poor record when it comes to stopping black people without good reason in particular. Recent events involving unhealthy police attitudes towards women make even more important that stop and search is justified.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the government provide greater support to parents to help children from poorer families achieve in school?,"yes the goverment should provide help to poorer families, we should break the generational out of work senario so that the youth can avoid the trap of unemployment which then turns to crime and substance abuse and ultimatly jail",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the government introduce a universal basic income?,"I think having a universal basic income would have its advantages in that it would give everyone a level of security that they would be able to manage if they lost there job. There has to be an incentive to work however so wages need to be good enough to encourage those working. On the downside, it could cause more people to rely on this as their primary income and cause those to not want to work.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,100,Is the internet a force for good or evil?,"I stand conflicted on this topic, as I can see reasons for and against. For example, the internet is a powerful learning tool, that can be accessible by many people. It is a window to opportunities and new experiences. On the other hand, it can also be a breeding ground of evil, where predators can hide behind computer screens and prey on the most innocent.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,73,Should the government allow a new oil refinery to be built on the coast?,As oil refinery needs a lot of water. They use a large amount of steam and cooling water so building a new oil refinery on the coast is a good idea. This location will give access to transportation by sea. It will reduce the environmental impact of oil and gas by removing harmful pollutants.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,101,Should we change our electoral system?,"I think It works in very efficient way, so there is no need for changes. It's been proven. Otherwise It my give advantage to one of major parties.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should we allow the creation of “designer babies”?,"It depends on what the design is, i would be in favour of designing out bad genetics to protect the baby from having ill health. But would not be in favour of designing babies to order as in choosing eye colour, hair colour, skin colour etc etc. That would be wrong in many ways i think and could lead to other problems we dont face right now.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Will the UK reduce the number of days a year on which a person is allowed to work?,"I believe the UK will reduce the working days per week, but not for a a good number of years. All studies on the matter show that having a 4-day week of either 8 or 10 hours per day leads to greater productivity and better welfare for the workers so I believe it will be the corporations that first adopt this as is currently being done in America. Once a large number of big corporations adopt this method of working and show it to be beneficial in the UK, the US will have likely adopted it as standard practice across the country and the UK will soon follow suit.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Should the government ban the purchase of large private cars in order to reduce air pollution?,Banning the use of large private cars is an infringement on freedom. People are taxed heavily if they wish to use such a vehicle so the numbers limit themselves. Industry has a much worse impact on the environment than a few large cars.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should we ban the sale of gasoline and diesel powered cars by 2035?,If we do ban gasoline and diesel powered cars then everyone will have a hybrid car which will be better for the environment. Currrently people who want one of these cars may not be able to afford them. If we ban diesel and gasoline powered cars then the market for cheaper hybrid cars will be open to those who can't afford it currently. In the long run this will be both beneficial for the environment and not give people the excuse of hybrid cars being too expensive to buy. The government will need to support some people more than others when making that change.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should we increase funding for public education?,"Public education is currently in a dire situation; teachers are on strike over wages and funding to their schools. Parents are having to fund things that ought to be state-funded, and there is even evidence that teachers are buying supplies out of their own wages that should have been provided. I think a massive overhaul of the funding process is needed, with a view to substantially increasing - the only ones that will suffer ultimately are our children if this situation isn't changed.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should the government invest more in railway infrastructure to help improve public transport?,Yes the goverment should invest in more railway infrastucture in order to help the public move about. This will help people go to work and participate in other important activities that they need. It will help clean the environment and give better air quality putting less pressure on cars that are currently on the roads. Better timetables and more frequent transport will give the public confidence in using these systems.,MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,0,Will artificial intelligence ever match human intelligence?,i believe strongly in technology and i believe technology has come a long way to making human lives better. having this in mind i strongly believe that in the search to make human lives alot easier AIs will match human intelligence,YES,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Is it ever OK for a politician to ask an aide to do a personal favour?,"It depends on the nature of the favour. Clearly it is unacceptable for them to ask an aide to break the law, for example. It is equally acceptable to ask them to do a favour in the course of their employment. An example of this would be to take a meeting for them or to oversee an issue with a constituent. Effectively this is simply prioritizing and delegating, which is normal in any employment.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should the government ban the sale of new petrol cars in 2030?,"We are constantly told about the issues with petrol and diesel cars, and how they damage the environment. We are also constantly told as a nation how climate change is affecting the world we live in and change needs to happen soon. I don't think petrol cars should be banned yet, as 2030 is only 7 years away and we need more time to implement the change. Although it sounds a long time away, I don't think 7 years is enough to phase out petrol cars and replace pumps with electric ports. Also not everyone has the access to funds to buy a electric car. Or have the means to charge it on a daily basis.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Is it okay for adults to do drugs at parties?,"Using drugs cause brain disorder, because it involves functional changes to the brain circuits that is responsible for self contol and cordination",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,"Should the UK adopt a universal basic income of £10,000 per adult per year?","In principle it seems a good idea. I can see some advantages, it would ensure that everyone is able to maintain a very basic standard of living at least. On the downside I can see disadvantages. Some people may lose any incentive to work and just live off the basic income and supplement this on the informal economy. I would also think that it is potentially open to scammers to defraud the system. If introduced strong safeguards would be needed.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the government use tax revenues to provide people with basic income?,"It's best not to have dire poverty - people find there is no way out of it - especially in a recession. It doesn't cost much for the basics of food, somewhere warm to live and clothes these days ( I don't agree with providing beer and ciggies ) - though the Government persists in making it more expensive than it needs to be - particularly housing, so it's better to give the basics and leave incentives to earn spending money ( even just beer and ciggies ) to motivate people to go to work.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the UK government subsidize the construction of low-cost housing?,"I believe the government should be putting funding into affordable housing. Given inflation over the years and the fact that current wages and house prices do no match those of 30 years ago. It is incredibly difficult for anyone to get on the property ladder in the current economy. In my opinion in order to be able to save for a deposit the only option is to live at home with your parents until you have saved enough money. For some people this isn't viable. As well as this it's not viable to save when you are paying such high prices for rent and essential bills, there is no money left at the end of the month to be saved for the deposit. If there is affordable housing there will be more avail",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should we allow employers to ask job applicants for their credit score?,No. If someone has been out of work or amassed debt as a student they need to work to rectify the situation. The only time it might be useful if it had an impact on the work to be undertaken.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should a new nuclear power station be built at Hinkley Point?,nuclear power is a source of clean energy which is needed in todays world with climate change impacting so greatly. as long as there are extensive safety measures in place and Hinkly Point is not at risk of any disasters which could cause meltdown i dont see why not.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,85,Should we build a third runway at Heathrow Airport?,"Logically, a third runaway will mean that disruptions with flights will be minimised and emissions from aircrafts waiting to land will be reduced. However there must also be a cost to building a third runaway which could lead to economic loss. There are both advantages and disadvantages in regards to the following question. It must be decided whether the benefits of a third runaway outweigh the costs.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Should more be done to help combat climate change?,"Yes more should be done to combat climate change. Although it is not something tangible that we can see it does exist. I believe as we cannot see it, we tend to pretend it's not happening, or have the idea that it's not 'my' problem. However it is leading to changes in the climate which will cause irreparable damage to the planet, it may not be in our life time, however we need to make some changes in order to negate the damage. These can all be small things such as recycling and turning off lights when not in use.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we stop using disposable plastic?,"For me this the answer to this is a yes and no. I believe we should limit the use of disposable plastic, and when it is used it should be recycled properly. Unfortunately there are some things that cannot be replaced. An example of this is paper straws. I love turtles but paper straws are the worst, there is no good substitute for a plastic straw. I believe they would be fine to use once they were recycled properly.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should we abolish or reduce university tuition fees?,We should reduce feed because it deters lower socio economic families/individuals from attending university and reduces their future prospects of getting better paying roles therefore continuing generational poverty or low earnings. This also means that in line with increasing prices/inflation it becomes more difficult for families/individuals to survive.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,58,Does it make sense to pay people more for working at night?,"The hours are unsocial and can impact a person's mental health. However, for some people being able to work at night is a benefit that they seek out. I think it depends slightly on whether they have to work at night and that's the main aspect of the job or if it's shift work i.e. a nurse and it would not be their chosen working pattern.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC be a public service broadcaster or a commercial broadcaster?,I think it would be better if it could raise some more funding from advertisers but without giving its independence away. The licence is a bit outdated and some people struggle to afford it. I do think it's important to have a unbiased public service broadcaster and do believe the bbc is largely unbiased but can sometimes bow to government pressure. Maybe a different stream of funding can dampen government pressure.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,100,Does free trade make the world a better place?,"I think overall it is advantageous to have free trade in the majority of imports and exports. By reducing tariff barriers, lower prices for consumers but the government will reduce its tax revenues. Free trade leads to increased economic growth but can lead to crowding out",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,101,Should we change the way that we vote in UK elections?,I do not think it needs changing because there does not appear to be any problem with the current system. If there were some other options then I may consider changing my mind. It seems to be the fairest way to elect someone so why change it? I personally cant think of it ever being any different in the UK than it is now.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Is the UK government morally justified in collecting taxes to fund public healthcare?,Yes it is - the NHS is one of the best free healthcare providers in the world. Everyone is treated equally in regard to it's use.It is fairer system compared to charging people for it. It's the one service which normally you can depend on.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Should there be term limits for elected officials?,yes because if there was not and the person doing the job was not up to what the people voted for the people need to be able to change.,MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Is it ok for the UK government to tax people who earn a high salary at a higher rate than people who earn a lower salary?,Within reason I think this is fair. I don't have a very strong viewpoint and feel I can't bolster my opinion with much to back it up due to a lack of insight. All I can say is I generally feel this is fair and the government should stick to it.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should parents have the right to choose their children’s schools?,"Parents should have the right to choose their childs schools as education is very important to a childs development. If a child is in a school that they don't like, then a parent should also have the right to take that child out of that school and put them into one which is more suitable for the child.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the government enforce compulsory national service?,"Compulsory national service is an immoral process. It forces people to participate in the military and does not permit freedom of choice. If somebody wishes to join the army then they may, but to enforce this is government overreach and an unacceptable interference in people's lives. We do not live in a country that needs to be prepared for war on the ground.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,88,Would it be a good idea for the government to regulate the amount of sugar that can be put into any soft drink sold in the UK?,"Yes although it would be better for the government to promote healthy foods and have initiatives that support people in eating healthy instead of punishing the enjoyment that people do get out of food. The sugar tax should be abolished, and instead we should have schemes that advise people how to have balanced diets.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Is it right to keep animals in zoos?,"Essentially it is not and I think that animals do suffers when kept in zoos, changes their natural behaviour and they are always restricted to some degree because they do have restricted grounds to live in. I think in cases where animals are endangered and have to be kept in zoos for higher chances of survival i feel this is acceptable, IF they have a high quality of life and not just for show, i feel it is cruel to cage a animal and although not ideal, some nature has to take its course and species which are needing to be saved then at least they lived in freedom to roam to be happy than stuck in a jail cell of sorts, would we like it? then do not expect that these beautiful animals do eith",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban the import of single use plastics from China?,"We really need to start looking at more re usable and environmentally friendly products, if we continue to allow the import of single use plastic China will keep benefitting and making money and supplying more products instead of looking for more sustainable versions. We need to stop encouraging the use of single use plastics for our sea life and the environment as a whole. Plastics take so long to degrade they will still be polluting our planet long after we have gone and it needs to stop.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,18,Should we make it illegal for a person to leave their partner or spouse?,"The short answer to this is ""no"". It would be a gross violation of a person's human rights to enforce such a ruling. People have the right to be with the partner of their choice. The corollary to this is that they also have the right to end a relationship. There is also the issue of allowing people to end abusive relationships, to preserve their own safety. We cannot lose this. Of course, one wouldn't want the process of leaving a partner to be abused. There needs to be a ""good faith"" separation that (continues) to protect both individuals' human and economic rights.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,55,Are our brains like computers?,"Yes, I'll bring the like computers in some ways. No, I believe we only use a very small percentage of our brain is total capabilities. Much like computers, we restore information and process it in many different ways. We all operate a different capacities and speeds.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should there be a maximum wage in the UK?,"I am torn on this subject. On one hand there could be positives to limiting the wage in the UK to address income inequality and promote fairness. On the other hand, why should you stop people from making as much money as they want to. (As long as it doesn't impact others ability to also make money). It would be hard to implement therefore I don't believe there should be a maximum wage in the UK.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,54,Should the government ban all animal products?,"I am unclear even what this statement means, maybe because it is such an extreme opinion that I do not anyone is even considering. Are we talking about banning all animals for food and consumable goods. As I do not see how this would be possible and hold society together. Whilst I agree with the concept of reducing your meat intake in order to help reduce the negative impacts of climate change I believe the complete banning of all animal products would be such a wholesale change that it would create chaos.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,88,Should we increase the tax on sugary drinks to reduce obesity?,I am sure I have a clear opinion on this. People should be free to consume whatever they want and not have to pay a higher tax because of their personal decisions,NO,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Are celebrities treated too harshly by the media?,"no, they are not - they exist in an eco-system with the media and public that feeds off each other to survive. they covet attention from the media and often create drama or feign it to attract media attention. the media are not innocent parties, they quite probably encourage celebrity behaviours and they take great pleasure in reporting incidents. while some celebrities may feel pressure from media attention, they may not have adequate impartial support and guidance to help them navigate this relationship, and are unsure how to have more control over how the media treats them.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should we raise the maximum age for leaving school to 18?,No we should not do this. There are people for whom an academic education is not suitable who can be educated in other perfectly valid vocational ways. Trying to keep youngsters out of the unemployment figures by keeping them at school is wrong. Appropriate vocation education should be encouraged and respected so that if people leave school at 16 there are valued options apart from A levels and straight into work that will help their careers. School is also a strict environment and some older children need more freedom to be adults.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should we ban the sale of diesel cars by 2023?,"No,I think people should have a choice what car they wanted to buy.If you want to ban something usually people will protest .I know that its because enviroment matter but I dont see how banning diesel cars only in Uk or Europe can change anything",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should the Government encourage immigration into the UK from the EU?,"I think that we have a poor process for dealing with immigration so encouraging more immigration until conditions, attitudes towards and resources for immigrants are improved would create a mess. There is resentment towards immigrants in this country that has not been resolved yet so we would be inviting people into a hostile environment, during a poor period of economy where resources for natives are not extended to immigrants until they have been here a while. In short, although we want cheap labour and essentially to take advantage of immigrants, we do not want to welcome immigrants so ultimately I don't think it fair to immigrants to encourage them to come here in this climate.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is the UK's National Health Service one of the best health systems in the world?,The NHS is a gem of an instituion. It helps so many and is so well organised.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,54,Should the UK government ban the sale of fur?,The Uk government should ban the sale of fur for protection of the environment and animal welfare. Fur is not essential and can be replaced by a lot of other synthetic materials then there is no reason to allow the sale of fur . Furthermore it can lead to illegal acitivities such a poaching.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should we require companies to give their workers a shorter working week?,shorter weeks are good yes but if it was me i feel more hours gets more done lowering hours to me is a bad idea,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Do companies that use social media for advertising provide a societal benefit?,Yes I think it does provide societal benefit for the company and users of social media. Without this users might not know about the company and gives the company free advertising. It can be benefit both the company with extra revenue and also creates better competition.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should we be spending more on the police and armed forces to improve security in the UK?,"I do think we should be spending more money to improve the police and armed forces in the UK. This will obviously improve security against home crime, organised crime, foreign crime and such things. But also will protect us from terrorism. The threats of terrorism have increased so much since the events of 9/11 all across the world. Due to mass immigration of undocumented men, the threat levels has only increased in crime levels and terror threats. Even people from the UK no longer fear our own police, which needs to change now.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should the UK adopt a higher tax on the use of plastic bags?,"No, it's the wrong target. Instead of targeting individuals, we should be targeting big businesses who make the biggest impacts on the environment. The plastic bag tax makes very little difference, there are far worse enemies.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,93,Is there a benefit to teaching children to learn foreign languages?,"With more and more people travelling around the world it would be very important to continue to teach foreign languages at school, so than can hold conversation with the local resident of that country. Plus we do a lot of trading with foreign countries and sometime we have to speak or read in other languages some of which maybe technical or just a polite gesture.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,0,Should companies be allowed to use artificial intelligence to select candidates for recruitment or promotion?,"Artificial intelligence cannot replace a human, who has empathy and knowledge of nuances in the company. AI may be useful in the initial sifting of candidates, when comparing qualifications and experience, but cannot replace a human's knowledge and ""feelings"" about a candidate. So, yes to initial sifting, but no beyond that.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Should the state fund the arts?,"I agree the arts are important and should receive some funding. However, in times like these, they have to take a back seat when the government has more important priorities. The arts don't affect life and death like the NHS or energy crisis.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should we increase or decrease the number of migrant workers allowed into the UK?,The UK should increase the number of migrants allowed to work. We have a significant skill gaps in many industries including health care and creative industries. This is a big problem especially after Brexit. Increasing the number of migrant workers not only boosts the economy but also increases the multicultural richness in the British society.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,83,Should we allow people to buy and sell organs on a market?,"Well this is easy. No is the answer. It would change the way the system currently works. Money would then start to talk and the people who could not afford to compete to say buy and organ would lose out. If you had 2 people the first with money who had a kidney failure so did need a kidney but could live and one who needed a kidney and had a short time to live but had no money. Money should not talk in this situation. Also people could then donate an organ to make money, really!",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,19,Should all people have access to the internet?,"On principle yes, because as we move into a digital world everyone should have free access to knowledge. However this has to be managed in an ethical way. For example there are content which can be disturbing or inappropriate for young children - this should be managed on a case-by-case basis by parents and guardians. But generally I do think everyone should be able to access information on the internet freely to be able to make informed opinions.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,76,Should the government increase the amount of solar energy produced in the UK?,"I believe the UK government should increase the amount of solar energy produced. I believe this would be positive for the environment, and for fighting climate change and I believe it is very important we act on this now. I also believe it is important to diversify energy sources so as to help bring down the price of energy bills in the future, and to be less reliant on foreign powers for energy production",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Are the benefits of free public transportation worth the cost?,"the benefits and the costs are somewhat unknown at this point. Maybe a small scale feasibility study could help answering this question in the future. I think having anything for free is not possible, people need to feel they are responsible and that they are contributing to the system so that they are caring for it and using it efficiently. So I think it is better to have a low cost and great public transport rather than having a free system that is always down or has horrible condition. The fact that it is coming free might impact the quality of the service as well. I think a low cost public transport system could help with many factors such as traffic, energy consumption, environment etc.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Is it right for the UK to use some of the money from taxes to help poor people in other countries?,"I fully agree with helping the poor in other countries. However i believe that other funds should be used to do this rather than those raised from taxes. Not that it probably matters as such, just that public opinion would be more favourable.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should the UK government make a commitment to reduce the number of people without homes by at least 10% each year?,I'm not sure how good a commitment like this will achieve since the UK government do not want to build to many homes so this would be just another lie. Just because they make this commitment does not mean it will happen or they would be legally responsible to follow though with it. I feel there are much better ways to encourage house building then empty commitments like deregulating housing code or offering grants to house builders etc.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it okay to use disposable plastic cups at a social gathering?,"No. Discarded disposable plastic in the environment is a real issue that may have repercussions for generations into the future, and we should all do our bit to reduce the use of disposable plastics whenever possible. In this situation, there are many other less polluting options, such as paper, glass or recyleable / multi-use plastic cups.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK allow dual citizenship?,i believe thay should for the days of having a lot of over seas teritorries has gone and alot of people have conections to the uk through parents and deserve the right to be able to get help from the uk goverment if need be,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we allow the creation of human-animal hybrids through genetic engineering?,I do not agree that we should have a creation of human-animal hybrids through genetic engineering. Do not mess with something that would no doubt go horribly wrong in the future whether that be near future or long into the future. What possible reason would this benefit anybody? If people want to fly we have planes. If people want to go across water we have boats. If people want to act like a chicken they can do so whilst still remaining a human being. This is a stupid idea. I could see the worst factor of this being brought into for the use of the hybrids in wars and this doesn't bear thinking about.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,11,Should the government offer subsidies to make housing more affordable?,The government should offer subsidies to make housing more affordable. Housing crisis is becoming worse with the cost of living crisis. The government should invest in housing rather than leave it to the free market.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,88,Should a tax on sugar be implemented to reduce the number of obese people in the country?,In my opinion it would make sure that we think about our food choices because it is going to cost more for items containing sugar. We should all eat in moderation and this is an easy way to cut back that would take the pressure off our NHS. I think that any measure that helps us make better choices is a positive one.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Should we increase public transport fares and use the extra revenue to provide free public transport for certain people?,Public transport is expensive as it is now and not affordable. Increasing fares will make it less affordable for those that need it for week and leisure . It is unfair to do this just to help certain people. Some people now can only just afford to use it now.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,31,Should it be illegal to use mobile phones while driving?,"Yes it should be illegal. It is very dangerous to use a phone when driving, because you are not concentrating and are distracted from the road. There have been many accidents caused by driving and phoning and people have sustained terrible life changing injuries as a result. There is also no need for it because there are hands free kits and other safer technology that can be used. It makes me very annoyed when I see people on their phones on the road.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should the UK government ban the manufacture of new diesel vehicles?,"Diesel vehicles are more polluting than alternatives, such as petrol and electric, and so the government should be considering to ban them in the future. However, their polluting nature is often over stated, as diesel engines typically have a better fuel economy than petrol and hybrid engines, so the government shouldn't rush to ban them.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,21,Should there be more taxes on cigarettes and alcohol?,"I don't believe there should be, there is already a high tax on them. Pubs, bars club etc have struggled enough in the last few years without having to increase the prices of drinks. This will put people off going out and ultimately will affect us all economically.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should we ban the sale of diesel and gasoline vehicles?,"In an ideal world yes we should for the environment, and I would like to see this. But I dont think we should currently as public transport is not good enough. Trains and buses are too expensive, not reliable enough and not frequent enough. We barely have a bus service here at all. If these aspects are greatly improved then yes these vehicles could be banned. The public will not want to give up their cars if the alternatives are not equal or actually better (cheaper, comfortable, frequent, accessible)",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should voting be mandatory?,"I believe voting should be mandatory, however it should also be mandatory for the public to atleast have to read the key policies and facts that each party are putting forward so as to not risk whoever was at the top of the ballot sheet getting the 1st tick and getting power.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Is the UK a feminist country?,I don't feel the UK is a feminist country because women are still being paid below a mans wage for doing the same job. Women are still fighting for equality in some areas of their lives.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC continue to receive funding from the government?,"Yes. Government funding is used by the BBC to serve the BBC World Service. This provides a valuable source of non-biased news reporting to non-UK countries around the world. An example includes broadcasting in Ukraine during the ongoing war there to combat against Russian misinformation campaigns. Without Government funding, this service would be at risk and would either not be performed at all, or would have to be funded from alternative forms such as via the licence fee which we, the general public, have to pay for.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,96,Is it worth trying to reduce inequality?,I think it's worth trying to remove the downsides of inequality like lack of access to critical needs like housing. Inequality also have negative effects on political and economical influence that could be destructive for society.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban single-use plastics in the UK?,"yes we should this will help with waste management and also would be so much better for the environment, and give our children a better future.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,0,Is the world going to get worse as Artificial Intelligence systems become more advanced?,This is the great unknown take Elon Musk for example he's worried that AI is advancing to quickly and we should be very careful about the development of the systems. I worry about them becoming to human like and then how do we procede and treat them. But I feel this is an exciting field and we should proceded with utmost caution.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,85,Should we build a third runway at Heathrow Airport?,"I am a keen traveller and can see the advantages of a third runway. However I feel that there are environmental factors to consider. We live in a polluted, overpopulated country and increased air traffic would contribute further to this. Therefore I personally put the environment first. We do not really have the capacity as such a small land mass to accommodate a higher frequency of planes in what is already an extremely busy airport.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,82,Should the government fund research into educational programs how to make humans smarter?,I do not really think that this is needed as I think that what is needed is a get back to basics regarding the 3Rs and that people start taking education seriously again from an early age. I think if we did this then children would learn more at an early stage and this would improve their IQs.,MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government be allowed to pass a law forcing people to pay a tax to reduce the risk of catastrophic climate change?,There is no denying that climate change is coming if not already here. It is not really the responsibility of individual citizens to pay for measures to mitigate against this. It should be the organisations that are contributing to climate change who pay the taxes.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Should the UK seek to re-join the EU?,"That is a complex questions. I think no. However, I think we should have had a second vote after we knew the consequences of Brexit. I don't think we have seen any real negatives from Brexit. There were a few minor hiccups which was to be expected from such a change. During the campaign there was a lot of scaremongering from the remain group and none of this has really come to pass. I think, the covid pandemic and war in Ukraine make it difficult to know which consequences in the world are due to Brexit and which are not. However, I think we need to give Brexit a fair amount of time and see how it goes.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Is it the responsibility of the government to fund and create more free parking spaces?,"Yes, absolutely. It is the government's responsibility to fund and create more free parking spaces. I'd say that there's not enough free parking spaces in the whole country",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should students who receive student loans have to pay interest on them?,I don't have a strong opinion of this as I've never been to university and have no children. It seems that it might penalise poorer people with degrees if interest is added to the loan. Maybe it should be a set amount added instead of variable interest.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,82,Should the Government fund research into cloning?,Yes. If its possible to clone vital organs then this would be a huge benefit to society. As well as saving lives it could also save money throughout the NHS and some social care sectors.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Is the UK more or less liberal than the US?,No UK is not more liberal than the Us as both are on similar level of attaining liberty. we cannot say any of the two has attained a higher level of liberty than the other. both are developing countries.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we cut the minimum voting age to 14?,"No we shouldn't. I don't think at 14 years old you have a full understanding of government, politics and the consequences of voting certain parties in. I think its vital to wait until 16-18 so that young adults can educate themselves properly and have a better undertanding",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,85,Should we build a third runway at Heathrow Airport?,"No, as I believe this will add to air pollution and will cause further noise pollution for those that live near the flight paths. The cons outweigh the pro's in this case.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we lower the voting age to 16?,"i do not believe that lowering the voting age to 16 is a sensible plan. at 16 you have very strong opinions, of course and you are starting to find your way in the world, however, you have a lack of experience and exposure to anything beyond school and the environment in which you are raised. this environment could be good, but could equally be bad and have shown you a way of life which may not reflect the real world, or even the kind of opinions you form once you have been to university, started work or been on an apprentice program. the opportunity to make mistakes and learn must be allowed in our society and for children, that is key to them growing and becoming the kind of citizens we wa",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,54,Should we ban the import of food from countries that allow animal testing?,We should ban food from countries that allow animal testing because it voilates animal rights and causes unnecessary suffering and pain and other means of testing are available. I think it is important as human we aim to try and limit any unnecessary harm that we do to other creatures. It would require only small changes on our part to do this.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC be funded by a TV licence or from general taxation?,the tv/viewing/channel landscape is so large and complex now that i direct licence for the bbc shouldn't be there. either t should be opt in/subscription or from general tax.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Is Britain's tax burden too high?,"The tax that is put on people really is too high, people are struggling as it is and with high taxes it really does not help peoples situations. The harder you work the more you pay out in tax which is very unfair. People should be able to keep more of the money they work hard to earn. You pay tax on wages then tou pay tax on things you buy its just never ending.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Is it right to have compulsory voting?,Absolutely not - people who do not want to vote are those that are likely disengaged in politics and likely will be uninformed and open to be influenced by misinformation on social media and mainstream media channels. I only want people to vote if there are informed and confident in their decision,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,10,Should universities be allowed to ban speakers with views they dislike?,"People often argue that freedom of speech is more important than anything, and so they argue that people should be allowed to say what they want. This misguided passion for freedom however paradoxically inhibits the Universities freedom to allow what they want. Universities can generally be trusted to have an overwhelming sense of logic, sensibility and proportionality. I wouldnt expect a university to disallow a speaker who had moderate opinions or because one person in power didnt like them. I would expect they would use this tool correctly and prohibit radical speakers, people who mis-inform or promote unhealthy values. And who sets those values? We do, the logical majority of the public ",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should we have a maximum and minimum wage?,"We should certainly have a minimum wage. The reason being that there are some employers who would take advantage of workers and pay them a salary that is not sufficient to live a basic human life in a humane manner. Employers have a care of duty for their employees and if one way to ensure this is to enforce a minimum wage then this can only be a good thing. A maximum wage is slightly different. In a private sector company then there really should be no limit to the salary. It all relevant and unfortunately even if there were a maximum wage limit, there would be tax avoidance and bonuses as a way to get around it. But mainly it would not increase the wages of the lower paid workers anyway.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Should the Government increase taxes to reduce the deficit?,"It depends which taxes specifically the government would increase. I do not think that the government should increase taxes on peoples salaries and wages, or increase taxes on small businesses which are already struggling in this economy. However, the news shows time and again how large corporations and big businesses are dodging taxes through technical legal loopholes and avoid paying their fair due. I think it would be better for the government to find a better way to get these businesses to pay their fair share to reduce the deficit.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,5,Is it OK to use animal products at all for beauty care?,"Generally I would say no, it's not okay to use animal products for beauty care. However, if the animal product is a byproduct of other product, this could be more acceptable. I think the aim should be to phase out the use of animal products where possible",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we reduce the voting age from 18 to 16?,"No - 16 is too young to vote on topics that the vast majority of 16 year old's have no experience of, for example; taxation, economic stability, interest rates, geopolitics. If the age is to be changed then it should be increased, not decreased.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,23,Should the UK aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030?,"I do not believe the UK achieving carbon neutrality will achieve anything. The UK has a population of under 70 million. Countries like India and China have 3 billion between them and are growing all the time. They are developing. They are buying more cars. Taking more plane journeys. Building more factories. Whatever the UK does is going to be offset by the carbon footprint of much larger countries that are rapidly developing from rural to industrialized in any case. All we will end up doing is hurting our competitiveness in the world, damaging our economy even further, and putting our citizens in poverty. And the end result will have no effect on the wider world. Even if the whole collectiv",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,21,Should we have a minimum unit price for alcohol?,"It could possible be a good idea to have a minimum price set per unit so people can't purchase large amounts of alcohol and use it irresponsibly. However, for responsible users this would be unfair. I am undecided on this.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Will there ever be a cure for the common cold?,"Eventually there will be a cure for the common cold, even if it takes scientists hundreds of years to find it. Everything is curable with enough time and resources. Scientists are always making new discoveries and breakthroughs.",NO,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,35,Is it a good idea to replace the pound with the Euro?,It would be good as the pound has dropped. I feel replacing with the euro would be a benefit to us because we’d get better rates. The pound is outdated,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the state provide free childcare?,"Childcare is important and the fact that many people find it hard, or impossible to work due to the cost is disgusting. It should be provided by the state to allow those that wish to, to work. This would help the economy and the country as a whole and not have many people feeling that they cant have a career. Other countries are able to provide this, why cant we?",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Is it ethical for a person to live in a way that harms the environment?,I think it is not ethical for to live in a way that harms the environment. By ensuring people ethical it ensures that it will not harm the environment. Therefore it ensures it is vital to follow this..,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should the UK allow foreign companies to build 5G networks in the UK?,"If the UK government has a robust policy in place that sets out sufficient checks and balances then I think any company that meets the criteria should be allowed to build 5G networks in the UK. Modern living requires reliable internet access and the population demands it. Enusring safety and security will be key to developing the infrastructure, so experts would need to advise on this.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Should we ban the production of all types of electric cars?,"I don't believe production of electric cars should be banned as I believe they are environmentally friendly. Although I accept electric cars are a long way from being the perfect solution to the environmental problems caused by petrol and diesel cars, I still believe they offer a potential future solution. Allowing the production of electric cars to go ahead will enable advances in technology and infrastructure, that will eventually mean electric cars are a viable environmentally friendly alternative.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK's ties to Europe be stronger or weaker?,"When we was in Europe we had good trade with them , The decision to leave was very bad for united kindom . We need to put the vote again to the British public i am sure this time the decision would be to remain",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Is it possible to get to know another person well enough to know whether or not they are a good person?,"Generally, yes, as people can be outspoken and opinionated, revealing themselves. There will still be possible future situations where people will act significantly different to how they usually do, and this will be hard to predict. People also change over time, sometimes in subtle ways that is hard to track.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Should we require people to wear face masks?,"This was only ever a token gesture to make people ""feel"" safer. Masks made little or no difference to the spread of Covid-19. If they worked, why were there large peaks after their wearing became compulsory? Homemade or cloth masks were completely useless and the blue medical masks were badly worn, often below the nose. Fear was used to sell them and I sadly see fearful older people wearing them in my local town, in the open air! I wish they would feel less scared, but this is what the government did to people.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Is it okay for parents to send their kids to private school?,"I suppose it is freedom of choice, but it is unfair on poorer children who may not receive the same level of education and not have the same opportunities in the future",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should people be allowed to smoke marijuana?,"It can have a really negative impact on peoples mental health. There are cases with those at risk that it can start psychosis. However, there are also people where it is needed for pain relief. On balance, I believe it should be made legal, and controlled to ensure the quality is maintained and people aware of the risks.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Should the UK continue to subsidise fossil fuel industries?,"They should because at the moment it is the only form of energy that is capable of delivering on our needs. Solar power and wind power, the so called ""sustainable"" sources, are not capable of delivery the kind of energy that can sustain a city full of people. We know this because there is no city in the world that solely uses these methods for the power needs, the technology is simply not there yet and most likely never will be. A heavy investment in nuclear power is what is really required as this is the cleanest energy and can actually meet our needs. Until we get there fossil fuel is our only option.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should people be encouraged to buy a home in London?,I think London is very heavily populated so it's probably not a very good idea to encourage more people to live there also it is very expensive so there are a lot better places people could be living. I think it would be better to encourage people to live outside of London so population density is spread out better.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should it be compulsory to vote in local elections?,No it should not be compulsory. Democracy is based on free-will and citizens who decide not to exercise their democratic right are entitled to do so. Instead politicians should engage the public in debate and through this encourage people to vote. Forcing people to vote will weaken our democracy and criminalise those who resist. This will impact on police and court time and is a waste of resources.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Should we require that people who have pets sterilize them before adopting them?,"Absolutely not. Dogs deserve to have pleasure too, just like us humans. People should be able to discipline their pets so that they do not pester others. But to render their pets sterile. by law, is absolutely immoral to me.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should the UK have a minimum wage?,yes they should so employers will pay acourdingly. But i also believe they should scrap the pay for people in certain age groups. I feel its unfair if you are 17-21 you get a lower wage for doing the same job.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Should the UK pay its fair share to help poorer countries reduce poverty?,"Yes, I do feel that as a richer country, the UK, along with other rich countries, should pay their fair share to reduce poverty in poorer countries. However, I do feel that countries that receive large amounts of aid to help with poverty should not be spending money on things like nuclear weapons programs or space exploration (e.g. India).",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Should we subsidize renewable energy companies to increase their production?,"Non renewable resources are only finite. Eventually we will need to find more sustainable sources of energy, particularly ones that will have less of an impact on global warming. We are already hearing many news reports of how we are running out of time to reverse the damage of global warming so some kind of investment needs to be made to find other sources of energy. Renewable energy may be more costly and less profitable, therefore a government subsidy might be what is required in order to kick start this process and encourage a wider spread use.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should there be a universal basic income (UBI)?,I think that if the minimum wage set at the moment or minimum living wage should be applied. A UBI regardless of working status is not a good idea. It would not encourage a society with advantageous characteristics.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Should the government subsidise the arts?,"Generally no, I feel that any arts should be subject to the free market. Arts that have enough interest and following should be able to survive in the free market and should not require subsidy. I feel that any art that requires a subsidy in order to survive should remain a hobby. I do however feel that art as education should be subsidised, such as art materials purchased for schools.",NO,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should we allow some of the land owned by the royal family to be sold off?,"In my opinion some land owned by the royal family should be sold off, as most of it remains unused for a good portion of the year. In a country in which their is housing struggles and many other social issues, partly funded through tax payers as well as their own means. The money could be put to good use as well as the land.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Is the UK's approach to the EU right or wrong?,"The current approach to the EU is based on false premises and an overestimate of the UK current economic and political place in the world. Even the architects of the current approach (e.g Rees-Mogg) have concluded that it will be decades, if not generations until the advantages of leaving the EU become apparent.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should we use public funds to provide free childcare?,We should if the Treasury can afford to. It will enable parents to return to work thus back contributing Tax and NIC. It will also encourage parenting thus creating more home grown workers for the future also paying into the Treasury,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we allow genetically modified crops?,We should allow genetically modified crops because there is no evidence to suggest that these are dangerous for human consumption. It allows us to engineer certain crops to be closer to what we require for certain things. Of course it better to use natural crops but if we have a need for genetically modified crops then there is no reason why they should be disallowed.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should companies be allowed to pay employees less than minimum wage as long as the company provides them with subsidized meals and housing?,No. Everyone at the lower end of the wage scale should be entitled to a minimum wage.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK build a moon base?,NO. there is no need for it. it is just Country's showing off to each other that they got there first,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should it be illegal to smoke in one's home?,No this is unacceaptable. Smoking is of course a very bad and unhealthy habit but so many other restrictions have now been placed on smokers it would be unreasonable to take away their freedom in their own homes. It would also be extremely difficult and expensive to police. Ones home should be thier kingdom as long as they dont do anythin illegal within it. It could be argued they cause harm to others within the home but that is for those involved to resolve not the legal system,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we impose higher taxes on the richest people?,"I think the general principle to tax those who can afford it more is correct, however this should not be overly punitive and should not de-incentivise people to aspire to more lucrative careers or make people seek regions where tax is lower. There should also be an offset mechanism where in taxing higher earners more through PAYE there is less stringency in other areas such as capital gains.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban the sale of non-essential plastics?,yes we should be banning non essential plastic not only is it ending up on rivers and seas it is causing fish to die and all sea life animals who get tangled in it along with it destroying the planet,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should people with more money be forced to pay more taxes?,"Yes, I agree with the current taxation rules/thresholds. High salaries should pay a higher rate of tax than those on low salaries. However, I do not agree that those with a higher asset wealth should necessarily be penalised by higher taxes - it should be done on salary.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,5,Is there anything wrong with cloning animals?,Cloning of animal is debateable in my opinion. It has certain benefits and defects. Researchers have observed health effects in sheeps and other animals that has been cloned. That include an increase in birth size and variety of defects in vital organs of cloned animals. Other consequences are of premature aging as well.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should we change the UK flag?,I am unaware of any reason why we should change the flag. It has no negative connotations and has been cleverly designed to incorporate each of the nations.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should we allow investement from the Chinese state in our high speed railway?,Allowing the Chinese to invest in our economy and railway could be very dangerous. They aren't a very trusted state and country and would be doing it in order to gain something from it. Keep them at arms length in my opinion,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should children be able to access their genomic information without the consent of their parents?,Children should be able to access their genomic information without the consent of their parents. That information has been inherited by them. They should be able to have knowledge of it.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should the government spend more money on building more nuclear power stations?,nuclear power is a reliable and cost effective way to generate electricity with high enery output and a relatively low carbon footprint. Newer tech has improved safety features and make them less prone to accidents,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should the UK maintain its current levels of defence spending?,"I think in the current climate, the UK needs to maintain it's current levels of defence spending. I think with Russia's war requiring the UK to help protect Europe, we need our defences to be strong.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government be making its own medicines instead of importing them?,"The research and production of medicines and medical utilities is better left to private enterprise. The government should simply regulate the prices of medicine, or buy them for its own public health service (much like we have here in the UK). The government creating medicine would lead to much worse medicine, shortages, inefficiency, a huge waste of money, it's practically guaranteed. In general, it's been shown throughout modern history that any kind of consumer goods is best left to the private sector, and in general, utilities and national resources work very well as state companies.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we ban all use of insecticides and pesticides?,There should not be ban on insecticides and pesticides because they are both important to us. They should not be banned because we use them for some activities. They should not be banned because they prevent some pests and insects,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Is obesity a worse health risk than alcoholism?,obesity is a serious health risk and puts incredible strain on the health services. As to whether it is worse than alcoholism it is hard to say. neither is good for you and both come with unique issues when it comes to health. i think obesity is more wide spread than alcholism and is an easier subject to put measures in place to reduce so i think it is worse for a society as a whole but not certain on the impact on an individual level,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should the right to vote be extended to children?,While I agree that children should have a democratic say in their future the age range of children is too vast and would have to be made much more specific. I would be in favour of lowering the age to 16 first because that is when you can leave full time education and if you you are old enough to consent to sex at that age in the UK then you should be able to vote in elections. I think at 16 while you are not an adult you should be able to register to vote and be able to have to say in things that would greatly effect your future.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government spend more on road repairs?,"The government should absolutely spend more money on road repairs. the amount of money that motorists put into the system in taxes is not reflected in the quality of our road system which is notorious for being a potholed, congested nightmare.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should people be able to vote by internet?,"Internet voting should be the next step in democracy in our highly digital age, though I do see how a digital voting system could be open to more kinds of fraud than a traditional pen and paper. There have been a few controversies around the world about digital voting systems, for example in Brazil, in the US, in Russia, etc. In the UK the main medium of voting associated with fraud is postal votes. Digital voting is something that probably should be implemented, but with careful planning and regulation.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Is the Universal Basic Income a good idea?,"Universal Basic Income seems like a good idea. I do think that the devil would be in the detail, however. How can the country afford it? Would disabled people be given extra help? Would children still be given free meals at school, if they were from lower income families?",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Does the minimum wage need to be raised?,"Today yes, the cost of living has become outrageous, food, fuel, utilities, people are only surviving, lower paid jobs are leaving people no wiggle room, people are not only cutting back on luxuries, they are cutting back on your average every day treats, nit putting on heating, missing meals, families are feeding their kids as parents go with out, High end jibs, discerning folk, don't see this as a problem , food ,,,,, essential , why are they , the government allowing such hikes, to food and gas and electric",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Are there any questions that we should never allow people to discuss and to vote on?,I cannot think of a topic which would fall into the category of not discussable. Everyone has an opinion and the right to voice same and when required to vote on the subject. Any democratic society should by inference uphold this theory. The inability to voice an opinion or vote indicated life under tyranny or dictatorship. Why ask a question if no answer is anticipated. Free speech is a basic right of the individual and should be upheld at all costs.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it okay to take antibiotics when you have a cold?,"Yes and No, to taking antibiotics when you have a cold. A cold normally disappears in a few days, unless you have a bad cough, it is just best to ride it out. There is no need to go to the doctor and waste there time just for a cold. Also some antibiotics have side effects, which is important to read the leaflet before taking any. This could be worst than having a cold. Antibiotics do not always make a difference. You have to be very careful before taking any medication, there are also people that have allergies, and do not read the leaflet. Colds are common, so drink plenty of fluids and ride it out, if it gets chesty, then get antibiotics if you can take them.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,97,Should we ban fast food outlets from opening near schools?,"No, there should certainly be a ban on children leaving school premises during school hours so their access would be automatically denied. School areas are also residential areas and, whilst I agree parents shouldn't be relying on fast food to feed children, that is a case for better education around food instead of simply banning it. Many oulets will not deliver to schools and again school safeguarding should stop delivery services accessing school premises already.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should there be stricter regulations for the food industry?,"Yes there should be stricter regulations. We cannot allow producers free reign on the food they sell. There must be clarity and accountability,",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should we build a nuclear power station in the West Midlands?,"Yes we should as it will produce mass energy as it'll stop having to rely on other countries, However it is still bad for the environment i think there are better ways to produce electricity like building wind farms or solar powered farms for cleaner energy in the long term.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC be abolished?,"I don't think it should be abolished, but I don't agree with the high fees charged to Public through TV licenses to watch the BBC when other programmes are free. This annoys me as then you see BBC presentators on very very high salaries which is ridiculous.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should people be allowed to smoke in public?,"People shouldn't be smoking in public area's such as bus stops, buildings, restaurants etc as that is called passive smoking. People who don't smoke have to put up with people who smoke and it's bad for their lungs. If someone wants to smoke they should smoke away from people",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,96,Should the government do more to promote gender equality?,"I think this is not something the government should be focussing on. I think their time and resources are needed for more important and crucial matters. Gender equality has massively improved from what it was like previously, therefore this could be something to look at in the future to ensure we are still on the right tracks.",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it ok for sports athletes to be paid money to promote products they do not use?,i feel its lack of credibility. and it lying. to tell some one to buy somethin you are not using,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should the number of immigrants allowed to come to the UK each year be increased?,Yes. There is a huge amount of evidence that increasing immigration leads to economic growth and cultural growth. There should of course be rules on who is let in but we should try and take a positive approach to the issue. We also need to do our duty as a stable country and try to provide a safe haven for those less fortunate and provide a place that can give immigrants a chance to improve their lives.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,49,Do we need a more socially conscious form of capitalism?,"I think we do need to be more sociually concious as because companies seem more focused on making as much money as possible than anything else. They dont seem to consider the environment and their impact. Or about the cost if living crisis and the impact there high prices have on people, they just want to make as much money for their shareholders. They increase the prices as they say they need to make things more environmentally friendly, net zero, that should come out of their profits currently not increase the costs to the consumer",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government try to promote marriage?,"I do not feel that the government should spend resources on promoting marriage. A lot of marriages end in divorce anyway so perhaps the government should consider changing tax and benefits laws to better suit modern circumstances, by trreating couples who live together as 'married' whether they have made this official or not.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,2,Should we have a wealth tax?,"I believe we should have a wealth tax. The inequality in this country is wrong. Working people pay a large amount of tax, yet the vastly wealthy hoard billions of pounds. Taxing wealth is fairer than wages, as many rich people don't work.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban plastic bags?,"I completely understand why they should be removed. We need to look after the environment and the effect it has on our habitat. However, I feel we still need something affordable to carry our products in. Therefore, I would reduce them as much as possible but still keep them.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is the government spending too much on healthcare?,"No the government is not spending too much. More needs to be spent to improve the services offered and the infrastructure of the hospitals, many of which are in a poor state. More doctors and nurses need to be trained but the government is restricting numbers which means that hospitals are understaffed and patient care is suffering.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,54,Should we ban the use of animals in circuses?,YES! The cruelty of animals in circuses has been known for too long. Using / exploiting animals for human pleasure will never be ok. I don't feel there is any humane way to cage animals and make them perform tricks for our enjoyment.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Should doctors be permitted to prescribe addictive drugs to terminally ill patients?,"I feel that those with terminal illnesses should be made as comfortable and as pain free as possible during their illness, thus allowing addictive drugs, if they'd help the patient should be allowed. i do however think it would be problematic to increase the prescription of addictive drugs in general as other people may get held of them, causing further problems for the public. I feel that if this was done, it should be carefully monitored.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,100,Is globalisation a positive force in society?,"I do think that the positives of globalisation outweigh the negatives of globalisation. I think sharing of trade is the biggest positive - because of countries have what we want, and we can offer them money and other resources. I also think the protection of armies is good too. We have been able to develop quicker because of this - with medicine, technology etc. However, some negatives are that richer countries perhaps can use their power more to get what they want.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should there be more or less public spending on health?,More spending should be spent of health. We can see that the NHS is already hugely stretched with high wait times for procedures and in A&E. with medical advances constantly happening people are living longer. The population age is constantly growing which in turn will lead to hospitals being more overrun. Nurses and doctors are underpaid and their wages haven't rose with the constant rise in inflation.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,63,Should we have a second Scottish independence referendum?,"Yes if that's what the Scottish people want, I don't have a strong opinion.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Does the UK have too much influence over its ex-colonies?,The UK has a little too much influence over its ex-colonies.I believe that they should let the countries fully run themselves while also before leaving provide help and try to repair damage and acknowledge any damage that they have caused and morally regret.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it okay for people to walk their dogs on the beach during the summer?,It is not okay at all! I believe it is extremely disrespectful and inconsiderate. Dog droppings are usually of a color that is closer to that of the sand and can get mixed in. People sit down on the bare sand and can get mixed up with the shit. No! Not okay at all.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Should we take action to reduce the impact of climate change?,I believe we are already taking a lot of action to reduce the impact of climate change but due to the urgency of the situation more could certainly be done. Pressure needs to be put on China and India to curb their use of fossil fuels which is hugely responsible for the current situation. They are still building coal fired power stations whilst the rest of the world is trying to get rid of them. More wind farms are needed to generate our power and also fracking should be implemented. It is vital that we slow down or stop the dangerous carbon emmisions and both of these things would help achieve that.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,35,"Should the Bank of England be required to target a specific level of inflation, e.g. 2%?","I do not think that it should be a requirement.I think a better way to approach this issues would be to gather opinions form experts on how this would affect the entire UK population ,especially the least well off and what alternatives there are to this target.Then after all this data collection and any prediction algorithms used the best and acceptable risk level option should be used or at least trial runs on small populations such as on an island could be used to see if in the real world it truly is the best option.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Should people have to pay more for insurance if they drive a car that is more likely to cause death or injury?,"If a car is statistically more dangerous than another car it is safe to assume that people should absolutely have to pay more insurance to cover the insurance companies liability against damage, death and injury. Additionally charging a higher premium for a more dangerous vehicle may serve as a deterrent for people to buy and drive said vehicles.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,44,Are the actions of the Extinction Rebellion protestors justified?,They may bring attention to topics that are important but their tactics are disruptive and illegal. I would support this group if they managed to balance right and wrong in a non harmful way,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is the National Health Service spending enough on mental health?,"The Nation Health Service is not spending enough on mental Health, The world at large is facing economic crisis, the number of unemployed people are increasing, people are finding it difficult to meet up with inflation and the cost of living. A good number of the masses are passing through a lot and some are silently depressed with mental challenges. More need to be done and spent to reach out on people with mental health challenges.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,5,Is it okay to use animals in scientific research?,"i do not think it is okay to use animals , especially if it is harming them. animals are breathing living animals and they should not be forced into cages to be experimented on for our own personal benefit as it is morally wrong.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should the minimum age for buying cigarettes be raised from 18 to 21?,"No - I think this policy would be a real waste of time and out of step with other policies. For example, you can drive when you're 17 and vote when you're 18 and also purchase alcohol when you're 18. Many could argue that alcohol is more harmful than smoking and so should the minimum age for that also be 21?",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Should we ban drugs which have side-effects of getting the user high?,I believe that people have the right to make personal choice if they want to get high - just as people are allowed to consume alcohol. However it should be done in a way that does not harm others or force them to take drugs. I also believe that the drugs should be grown in legal situations which will reduce dangerous and damaging behaviour around the growing and distribution and would enable tax income to be generated.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,63,Should Scotland have independence?,"I personally don't believe that Scotland should have independence as I believe that the separate countries making up the United Kingdom offer much more as a whole than they would do as individuals, especially when it comes to economic uncertainty. However I do believe that the Scottish people and their elected representatives should have the right to vote about their own independence.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,23,Should we put a price on carbon?,"We should all be trying to do a lot more to reduce our carbon impact to minimise the affects of climate change. By putting a price on carbon we would make people responsible for the amount they pollute. To an extent this already happens with higher energy prices for higher users and the cost of travel for example, but more could be done.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should we ban smoking on beaches?,"Smoking should not be banned on beaches as it is outdoors. We need to be careful about keeping the rights of the individual to do what they wish, within the law. So although smoking is clearly an unhealthy activity, I don't think banning smoking on beaches will change much, other than make our society more authoritarian than it necessarily needs to be.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Would it be better to have a President rather than a Prime Minister?,im not 100% sure what the difference is... Does it mean if you have a President its effectively one person making decisions for the own country... where in the parliamant with a prime minister all MP's get to vote on issues.,MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,"Should we have private and public education systems, or should education be just public?","In the current climate I understand why private schools are preferred because of their more effective and robust education system. However, all children should have access to the best education. Private schools should no longer exist and the government should pay techers fairly to provide a good education. Public schools should be the only type of school. Private schools are able to set particular education, especially with faith schools, which can give an uncharitable education.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Will it be possible to get rid of malaria?,Science will allow medicines and vaccinations eventually to eradicate this disease. This coupled with education programmes and further research will dwindle the number of people affected over time. Targeting of particular mosquito species through biocontrols will also support the demise of this disease.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Does the UK have an over-dependence on foreign trade?,"The UK does not have an over dependence on foreign trade, although we do have too high a foreign trade deficit. We need to facilitate the growth of our domestic manufacturing and commercial industries so that they can provide more competition to foreign competitors. There are some goods and services we will always need to import from abroad and this is fine as long as we have a healthy level of exports as well.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should people be allowed to smoke at outdoor eating and drinking venues?,"I think it's bad for public health for non-smokers to be alongside people who smoke close to them, but if the two areas are clearly separated and there is a designated smoking area, then I think it would be fairer to allow smokers to smoke outside. It's a very different situation to being indoors where there is poor ventilation and second-hand smoke is a bigger concern. I think an outright ban would upset a lot of people even if ultimately it's helping everyone's health.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban the use of plastic in disposable containers?,"I agree that we should ban the use of plastic in most disposable containers. There are much more sustainable materials that can be used but aren't as they are more expensive for the supermarkets and manufacturers. Enforced cardboard, aluminium, biodegradable fibres and glass are just some of the options. We need to move away from all this throw away disposable plastic that takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the government provide greater support to parents to help children from poorer families achieve in school?,"There is a key link between peoples upbringing and wealth level and their opportunity to succeed at school, so the government should be doing everything they can do to make the ability of our children more equitable. Some of these options are free school meals, as a well fed child will be able to pay attention more than a hungry one.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Should it be okay for doctors to prescribe life-ending drugs to patients with terminal illnesses?,"Yes, doctors should be able to prescribe life-ending drugs to patients who have a terminal illness. There would need to be very robust guidelines in place and always include the expert opinion of at least two medical practitioners and the consent of the patient or their family if the patient cannot give their consent.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Should we ban the use of diesel-powered cars?,"Difficult one really. Diesel has been seen as cleaner than petrol in some instances, & then been the bad guys again. I dont really have that much knowledge in how polluting it is but you couldnt just bad them because so many of them are already out there, so you would have to ban making new ones, so it would be 10-20+ years before they were completely stopped from being used. You also would potentially have other countries not doing it, so not only would the UK only be a drop in the ocean but people could be getting a worse more expensive deal than others around the world.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Should we raise the speed limit to 80mph on some of the motorways?,"Raising the speed limit to 80mph on some of the motorways would, in my opinion, be beneficial. The current 70mph is very dated and car safety has moved on massively since this was first introduced and most people seem to travel around this speed anyway, despite the current law.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should we legalise cannabis for recreational use?,"No. Personally I think that it would attract a lot more use. Having been a user earlier in life, it eventually affected my mental health in a bad way. It wouldnt have been the only reason, & im sure lots of people could use it fine & be happy, but I think there is the mental health side as well as it being a gateway to other drugs for some people. Alcohol & cigarettes would be banned if they were only found out about today, its only because its been legal for so long its still allowed. Medicinal use is ok for me but it shouldnt go further.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Is it okay to build a nuclear power plant next to a village?,it is not OK to built it next to a village as it could have health implications for the residents. There would also be risks such as if there was an explosion such as at Chernobyl. This had long term implications for the residents and the environment,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,"Should all adults be given a monthly allowance by the government, to be used for anything they like?",I do not think this should happen because people shouldn't be given free money from the government. Hard work should be a key part of our society and its values. There is also not that much evidence that it works well.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,10,Should the government have the right to control the internet in times of war?,Yes it should.It is important to stop spreading rumer and unfactual info in the press.There are spys everywhere which need to be stopped spreading misinformation.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Will we ever achieve 'peace in our time'?,"I think that the countries, and people on a smaller scale, will always be in competition with each other, instead of helping one another or wanting to achieve an equal level in different aspects of their lives, so based on this reason I don't believe we will achieve peace in our time on this world. Social media and access to different things only divides people and makes them compare more and be jealous of each other, so on a larger scale I cannot see how peace will happen. There is also the Russia-Ukraine example, which is terrifying..",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Are the benefits of Brexit going to outweigh the costs?,"For now, it looks like inflation in the UK is going to the roof. Some items doubled in price in the last 12 months and I have no idea if or when it will stop. I don't see any big changes that influence the life of normal citizens in any positive manner. It looks more or less the same as before leaving UE but now it's more expensive so I can't see how it was a good move.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,47,Should we ban gambling on sport?,"I dislike gambling, and the way its industry preys upon people. I also think there should be a decrease in the prominence of gambling advertising in sports broadcasting. Despite this I believe that in a free society people should be allowed to make their own decisions and if they want to take part in gambling, then they should be able to make that decision for themselves. I would not ban gambling on sport or otherwise.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,47,Should we ban or restrict gambling?,I don't feel like we should ban it because for most people its just a bit of fun and can make some events more entertaining. But there does have to be some restriction since there are people who can not control their addiction and could cause problems for themselves and family / friends. But any restrictions should only be aimed at certain people or over a certain amount of money to possibly stop future problems.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,100,Has the internet made the world a better place?,In so many ways it has but personally I feel ithas made people less dependent on one another ! children now spend hours alone in there bedrooms not engaging with any family members. It has also had a large impact on high street and taken a lot away from community and people don't have to leave there houses as much and engage with others which is sad.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,63,Should we support the creation of a single state for the whole of Ireland?,I don't know if we should create a single state for the whole of Ireland. If they want it and vote for it as a country we should respect the vote,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Are dogs better pets than cats?,"I had dogs for many years and was not involved with cats. They are definately more demanding, i,e taking out for walks, out to do their business. Food more expensive, vet fees more expensive. Life span shorter. Problems with pedigree breeds with inbred illnesses. Can't leave them at home on their own,",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,57,Does the UK have a moral obligation to help developing countries?,"MAYBE A MORAL RIGHT, BUT THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON THE UK BEFORE REACHING OUT.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Should we increase the amount of government funding that goes to the National Health Service?,"No I do not think the NHS needs any more funding. I feel it is being mismanaged and needs a total overhaul and the funds the NHS receives is more than enough and needs to be managed more wisely. There are so many areas within the NHS which are failing, but throwing more money at it, is not going to solve the problems. It is deep rooted and they always seem to have their hands out wanting more, when in fact if they change the structure, remove some of the jobs which are not needed, then they can divert this money where they think it is best needed. Blaming the government constantly for lack of money, when they are given so much but do not use if effectively.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Is it a good idea for the government to provide more funding to improve community mental health services?,"Yes. It is absolutely good for the government to provide more funding to improve community mental health service. Many people out there are mentally challenged due to different factors, some may be due to depression. Mentally challenged people need a lot of support from National health service to take care of them and the National Heath service needs funding support from the government to execute and render this services adequately to mental health patients",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,0,Should it be legal to use artificial intelligence to provide political advice to the prime minister?,I don't like the idea of the prime minister using AI for advice as they should be doing their own job.Political decisions should stay with humans as we have not voted for a computer program to rule us.This is just another way for prime minister's to pass the blame over if something goes wrong.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,19,Should people who are in receipt of state benefits be able to get free bus passes?,"i would say not. maybe if linked to job hunting, but as a general rule benefits should include allowance for transport.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it right for supermarkets to charge people for using carrier bags?,"I think it's right that supermarkets charge people for using carrier bags as it's a disincentive to be wasteful, however, they should be charged at cost or, if above cost, then the profit needs to go directly to a charity/non-profit that works to reduce plastic pollution.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,73,Should we allow fracking in the United Kingdom?,I don't fully understand the negatives of fracking but I do believe that it not something that should happen. I am open to hearing more knowledgeable opinions before making a conclusion.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,"Should we introduce a higher tax band for people who earn more than £250,000?","honestley i do not know, does that mean they will have other options to get this money but be able to hide it frim the hmrc.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,90,Should we remove all the gender-based words from our language?,"Mostly, I don't believe there is any particular serious issue with the existence of gendered words, so don't see a need to remove them. More specifically I would argue that gendered words evolved in the first place because there was a use for the. they are inherently useful as they serve a purpose in the language.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should we restrict immigration into the UK?,"My opinion is a little biased because I've benefitted from the UK's more open immigration. However, the UK has also benefitted from immigration. It is able to generate with it more tax without having to pay benefits to immigrants and fund their education. It's a plus from that aspect. Also it is able to keep a healthy population growth rate and also enrich it's culture. The downside is that some indigenes may feel the unwanted pressure to compete with immigrants for jobs who are usually well educated, experienced and more determined to get the job. It's a wake up call.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should the government require all plastic packaging to be biodegradable?,I think that a good idea and much better for environment include especially animal welfare at sea and in general environment as well us on the whole.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK break up into separate countries?,"I do not think that the UK should break up into seperate countries as, as much as it would grant freedom it could cause financial issues",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,89,Are the police more corrupt today than in the past?,"I believe Police to be equally as corrupt in the past. Although there are a lot of individuals working within the Police force that do a great job, there are members of the force that are involved in criminal activity and use their position within the force to gain access to information and to hide certain activity and are paid a lot of money outside of the Police force to do so.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,5,Should we use animals for medical research?,"I think we should. I love animals but medical research on humans is wrong mostly because of the intellectual capacity we have as humans. Let's be honest, animals are killed in huge numbers every single day world wide to provide food, I think therefore that it is right that we use animals for medical research. It's not because I want to subject them to that, it's just that if it is a choice between humans and animals, it has to be animals. If it is a question of innovation and advance of the human species, some sacrifcies have to be made. Overall though, I am uncomfortable with the use of animals for medical research, but I still think, reluctantly, that it should be done.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,90,Is it time to abandon the metric system and return to the imperial system?,I don't see why this is an important issue because we use a mix and balance at the moment and a complete switch and change could see it causing more issues than it solves because most people as well as systems and business will be used to the current system we have now and any changes made to anything are not without issues and problems and I don't think anything needs any extra shocks or changes right now when you need some stability. I know it was something linked to Brexit and that if we left the EU then it was proposed we would have the freedom but this isn't something the majority of people are going to really care about and even those that do might find unwelcome realities they haven't,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the state own utilities?,"I think the state should own all utilities, they need to be centeralised so prices can be fixed and capped so energy companies are not making thousands of pounds of profit by pushing prices up whist hard working people are struggling with the cost of living crisis. If they were all controlled by the government then there wouldn't be competition, prices fair and the same for everyone.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,31,Is it okay to use your phone to take photos at the cinema?,No it isn't. I think it is unfair to others to be taking photos in the cinema and would spoil their enjoyment of the film they were watching. It is both disruptive to others and selfish behaviour on the part of the person taking pictures. In addition I feel there could be copyright issues if pictures of the film are taken without the express authority of the copyright holder. I think a person taking photos would need that permission as they are capturing images of a piece of someone's work.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should there be a limit on how much political donations an individual can make?,"Donations can be used in both negative and positive ways so it can be hard to say one way or the other as taking away such donations could remove funding from something that is desperately needed. On the other hand, these donations influence political decisions that lean towards the best interest of the donator, which may have negative consequences for the citizens.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should the government ban all smoking in public?,I think the government should ban smoking in public because everyone knows that second hand smoke can cause health problems. Figures show that the health of people has improved in the general population since the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants. It also makes it easier for people who do smoke to quit.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Are dogs better pets than cats?,"Dogs are far better pets than cats. Dogs do not hunt and kill native wildlife, do not treat every garden on their street as a toilet and are faithful members of the family. They guide the blind, catch criminals and find missing people on mountains. Dogs are amazing.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,32,Should we restrict the sale of fireworks to licensed vendors?,"Yes because fireworks are dangerous and should be well regulated, you should be licensed to to sell or store them because they are explosives and we need to ensure they are not only manufactured to high safety standards but then then also transported and stored safely and only sold responsibly to limit and prevent accidents and harm. I also believe there should be stricter usage requirements and limits linked to when they can be sold because of the negative effects they can have on animals and wildlife and would like to see a move to limiting the noise or better yet reducing the noise completely if that is possible.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should parents be able to buy their children (under the age of 18) cigarettes?,No They should not. This should petered out over time. It not good for our health there no other way of cutting it.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should the government tax unhealthy foods?,I do not believe the government should tax unhealthy food because this would not solve the issue. Look at the sugar tax on drinks. It has not stopped people drinking them. all it has done is give companies an excuse to raise their prices. The prices have even risen on the sugar free versions. It has just turned into a money making scheme. If you really care about the obesity issue then do something about it. Encourage healthy eating. Make healthy versions cheaper. Cheaper gym memberships. Free classes about healthy eating and cooking from scratch. But give people the choice. Even treats occasionally are healthy as long as they are done in moderation.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,57,Do humans have an innate ability to be moral?,"I believe that humans do have an innate ability to be moral. Although there is a lot of influence from the environment you are brought up in, i believe that compassion and empathy are innate. People can understand feelings of others more as they feel them themselves. Serial killers and other behaviours that link to crime are often caused by environmental situations, such as stealing to take drugs, stealing because of having very little money.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should we increase government spending on healthcare by 10% of GDP?,"I definitely think that the government should increase spending on healthcare. However, I am not sure that 10% of GDP is realistic when there are other things that need budgeting for. So maybe it should be a lower number. I don't know what percentage is appropriate., but healthcare should definitely be a priority.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Should we allow terminally ill patients to import unlicensed drugs that have not been approved for use in the UK?,I whole heartedly agree with allowing terminally ill patients to import unlicensed drugs to help them. I feel that this shouldnt be done individually it should be monitored and carried out by our health system on the patients behalf. There should also be a consultation available to patents to talk through the sought out treatment to give the patient all the information available to allow a balkanced and educated choice.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the government provide free health care to all citizens?,"The government should provide free health care to all citizen irrespective of their economic status. The citizen pay taxes and in return should be provided basic health care. If you want any premium service, you are free to pay for that if you can afford it as citizen. Free basic health care should be government responsibility and the citizen right.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Should we ban cars from city centres?,"I would love to see cars banned from city centres. Pedestrian cities are healthier, cleaner and safer. A good mix of pedestrian zones with cycle paths, a park and ride scheme and effortless public transport would be ideal. Possibly restrict delivery vehicles to after hours only?",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should the UK allow more foreign skilled workers to come and work in the UK?,"Yes, skilled foreign workers should be allowed to come and work in the UK, as long as they have been checked and verified to have the skills they claim. Allowing skilled workers into the country will fill the gaps in various sectors where a workforce is needed and provide the individual with stable employment, so this will bnefit the individual as well as the coutry as a whole. The medical sector such as the NHS would benefit especially if people were allowed to work in that field, as the UK is suffering badly in that area with a sufficient workforce.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should we end the ban on smoking cannabis?,I THINK WE SHOULD END THE BAN ON SMOKING CANABIS AS IT IS A MILDLY HARMLESS SOCIAL DRUG THAT HAS MEANY GOOD QUALITIES AND PEOPLE USE F FOR HEALTH REASONS,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we allow companies to patent new genes that are discovered?,"Yes, companies should be allowed to patent new discovered genes. There is a great deal of work going into this type of research. This requires a lot of resources and finances. It is right that the new discoveries are patented for a fixed number of years which allows the companies to recoup their investment.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should the government intervene to change food choices so that everyone eats healthily?,"Currently there are no incentives to eat healthily. In fact, poor food choices are often more economical for a struggling family. It can be cheaper to ""fill up"" on cheap unhealthy foods than it is to buy fresh vegetables, especially during the cost of living crisis.The government have already introduced a sugar tax and I think that they could go further in helping those who struggle to afford fresh food, the ability to buy healthier foods. This could be, for example, by giving healthy eating food vouchers out. They do need to be careful not to put levies on foods that might make the costs of food too high to be unaffordable.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it okay to download pirated content from the internet?,"I don't think it is ok as the original creators do not get paid for their time, however I think there are more pressing concerns in the world at the moment.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,56,Should we allow the government to use facial recognition technology on the general public?,"Most certainly not, it would be an absolute invasion of privacy and would be open to abuse. Government should not have the power to spy on its citizens",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Should all public transport services be free for everyone?,"I strongly believe that if possible, all public transport service should be made free for everyone for some of the following reasons. It will make transportation more accessible especially for low income earners. Also, it will encourage more people to use this mode of transportation and reduce the reliability on private transports.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Is it right to force people to wear face masks in public places?,I believe it is right to force people to wear face masks in public places but only in special circumstances such as a dangerous pandemic. I do acknowledge that it somewhat clashes with freedom of speech and expression however if peoples lives are at risk I believe that is more important. It should only be applied when absolutely necessary and lifted as soon as safely possible. People with respiratory issues such have special exemptions.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the government support cultural organisations?,Governments should support cultural organisations because society is richer with cultural input. Life should not just be about the basics of survival. Cultural organisations can provide opportunities for people to come together in groups. This is important in order to strengthen communities.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should we limit the amount of junk food that can be displayed in supermarkets?,Yes I believe we should limit the amount of junk food displayed in supermarkets. The levels of obesity are very high in this country second only to the USA and I think that is a problem that needs to be addressed. The amount of junk food displayed in supermarkets is a direct contributor to the problem.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the government fund child care so that both parents can work?,"It would be more beneficial for the government to fund childcare, at least to a certain extent, as allowing both parents to work has a positive impact on the economy. It would allow the economy's productive capacity to be enhanced (as there would be a greater larger labour force) and the parents would be earning a higher salary which would eventually be reinjected into the economy. Therefore, there would be a significant opportunity cost in not choosing to fund childcare. Moreover, the increased disposable income for the family would allow the children to experience a greater standard of living.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,37,Should all new residential developments in the UK include a minimum percentage of affordable housing?,I believe that new residential developments in the UK should include a minimum percentage of affordable housing. The building companies would otherwise have no incentive to build affordable housing. Their main focus is making the maximum amount of profit from the land they are developing so building affordable housing is not on their agenda by choice. If no minimum percentage was imposed then the housing crisis would be even worse as fewer and fewer developers would build affordable housing.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should all of the money the government spends on education be spent on people under the age of 18?,"no, not all money should be spend on those people. money needs to be spent on other things and other people as well. money should be distributed to other things as well",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Should a dog have the same right to live that a human has?,"All living things should have a ""right to life"" which is why I somewhat agree with the statement. The reason I cannot fully agree with the statement is that if I had to choose between the life of a human and the life of a dog I would pick the human every single time; there is something inherently more valuable in a human life versus a dog's. This comes down to a few things, humans have more potential in life than, really, any other animal, I am also able to fully sympathise with other humans since we can communicate with each other.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the government be able to tax individuals and companies more to pay for the cost of public services?,"Yes, it is my opinion that the government should be able to increase taxes on individuals and companies. It is necessary to raise additional revenue to pay for stretched services and there are only two real solutions: either raising tax or borrowing. Borrowing is self-defeating eventually, as this just reduces the effect of raised revenue in the future, as interest on loans mounts. Therefore the only route is raising tax. I am against increasing income tax, but inheritance and unearned assets, such as stocks and shares owned by individuals could be taxed at a higher level. Tax avoidance loopholes on companies should be closed, so that they pay a fair share towards supporting the country whic",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Do we need to restrict the amount of foreign direct investment in the UK?,"The overriding intention on investments from overseas should be; does it benefit the UK and its inhabitants directly, indirectly or indifferently. That is to say, what is the motivation behind an investment into the UK? Is it a manufacturing firm from overseas who plan to evolve their business and build in the UK. Or an Oligarch looking to purchase a portfolio of properties across London where no one will be living in them for decades? My justification for the above opinion is that where investment is concerned, one has to be very careful to ensure that it is for the greater good of many and not the few. Too often the few get left behind and are left to mop up leftovers from spoils left over",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,44,Should we celebrate the life of Sir Winston Churchill?,"I believe we should celebrate the life of Sir Winston Churchill. It is a commonly held belief that he is the best Prime Minister we have ever had and I believe having him as Prime Minister during the war years certainly helped us win the War. I know he was held responsible for some mistakes made during the First World War, I believe, but at least he did make decisions.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should we increase the minimum wage to £15 per hour?,I think there hasn't been a real increase in the minimum wage for quite a few years and with current inflation and price increases its needed. I think its necessary to help the most vulnerable to cope with rising energy costs and to stop food poverty. I think its also necessary to encourage people to return to or stay in work.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should parents and caregivers be legally required to tell their children whether they are also their biological parents?,I dont think parents should be legally required to tell their children that they are their biological parents. i dont think there is any need. It's just unnecessary and it might just create confusions and complications. Some kids might suspect that they arent their biological parents thats why they are insisting that they are. Or something like that.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the government provide free life-saving treatment to any child who needs it?,"No, certainly not as you will get children from all over the world who do not live here coming and expecting free life-saving treatment. We should be giving this treatment to our own children who live here and not just to anyone who comes here in need of it. This country is already over populated as it is and we can not even get doctor and hospital appointments. British citizens can not even have the treatment that is needed, so no. Already the NHS is under pressure and ready to crack, so can you imagine what would happen if we allowed this treatment to any child? Do you see any other countries in the world doing it? No, you do not. This country is already migrating towards a recession so we",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should there be a higher tax on the rich?,"yes there should be higher tax on the rich because the rich stays rich a lot easier. so it can also help distribute wealth better by taxing them more than the poor. but you cant tax them too much, otherewise they would leave the country and go to a lower tax country.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,Are laws banning private education a good idea?,"I do not believe there should be any laws banning private education. i think all forms of education should be protected. If you have the means at your disposal you should be able to purchase the best education you can buy. I think the country would be a poorer place without Eton, Oxford and Cambridge.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,31,Should we ban the use of hand-held devices while driving?,"I totally agree that hand held devices should be banned whilst driving as it may cause accidents. Firstly holding a device whilst driving makes the driver struggle to control the steering. Secondly, it makes the driver lose focus on driving and concentrate on that device. Lastly, if the driver receives some bad news they might panic and lose focus which might cause an accident.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we have a minimum voting age of 18?,"no we shouldnt have a minimum voting age of 18. the minimum voting age should be 16 or 17. it could depend on their IQ or maturity or if they pass a simple test if they are 16 or 17, to allow them to vote. they can then be allowed to vote from 18 onwards.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should we raise the minimum age for voting to 21?,"I do not believe the minimum voting age should be raised to 21. The current age of 18 has been in use for a long time and there is no evidence to suggest that the votes of those under the age of 21 are any less considered, or valid than those 21 and over. Raising the voting age would needlessly disenfranchise those voters, which is not a direction we should be heading in, as a country. The more people involved in the democratic process, the better, so long as they are sufficiently mature to understand political issues. It is my view that 18 is old enough for this.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should the government require every new building in the UK to be designed to be carbon-neutral?,Yes i do believe that every building in the UK should be designed to be carbon neutral. We have abused the environment for too long by using the cheapest methods possible to build buildings with a total disregard to the effects that this might have. It is time for a reset and therefore every new building should be carbon neutral. Though older buildings should be exempt carbon neutral but they should have to lower their carbon footprint to as low as reasonably practicable.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,31,Should we put up signs in our libraries indicating that the use of cellphones is not permitted?,"I think it is important that a library should be a way of silent study or research, or just a place of peace and quiet. However with phones being ubiquitous nowadays, I feel saying a use of cellphones is outdated. A better way would be to say please put your phones on silent, like you would do at a cinema. If people want to supplement their work, research or leisure time in a library with internet use on their phone they should be able to, as long as it doesn't impact or interfere with anyone else in the area.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,50,"Should all citizens be required to complete a community service requirement (e.g., help in a hospital or care home) for a set number of hours per year?",There should be no requirement for ALL citizens to complete community service but there is a strong argument for those individuals who are seeking work to provide this service to the community. This would definitely act as an incentive for the job seekers who are maybe not that keen to work to be more proactive in seeking out a meaning role for themselves. This in no way implies that all job seekers are lazy and not looking for work and for those who are this would really be seen as a positive to them and any future employer that they are will to work outside their skill set to benefit others.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Should the UK and EU trade goods freely without any tariffs?,While the majority on folks in the UK opted to leave the EU I believe they were not provided with a truthful vision of how this would actually impact the UK going forward. Among the many impacts are the tariffs not only between the UK and Eu but between the UK and Northern Ireland. How we could let Theresa and Boris mess the country up in this way amazes me. We need to revert to what trade agreements we had prior to Brexit and swallow our pride as a nation. We need to admit when we get something wrong - but that is never the case unfortunately. As a consequence it is Joe Public who always gets to feel the full impact of there tariffs.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Should the government subsidize (give money to) oil and gas companies to produce fossil fuels?,"The government should subsidize the oil and gas company to produce fossil fuels to a certain degree. This is because we rely on fossil fuels heavily for our regular daily lives. However, we need to be begin to move to using renewable energy and the government should focus on subsidizing those companies.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,"Should we build more roads in the UK, even if it means we have to cut down a lot of trees?","No, we don't need more roads in the UK. Transit time is already good enough considering the size of our country. It's more important to ensure the environment is taken care of and we're doing our best to head towards carbon neturality. Too many trees are torn down in the interest of economic expansion when really it's environmental protection that's more important.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should cannabis be legalised for medical use?,"Yes for medical use, cannabis is known to help in big ways like with depression or even Parkinson's disease.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,"Should doctors be allowed to prescribe placebos, if the placebo has been shown to have positive effects?","Any form of dishonesty in the medical profession is not typically seen as benevolent conduct however, this could be a case of wrong thing for the right reasons. The ethics of it will be controversial though as it creates an imbalance of power in the doctor/ prescriber and patient relationship. It's important that patients can make informed choices and give informed consent, this builds and maintains trust. This maybe a useful stategy if it is emploed after thourough medical investigation but if it is used to brush off complicated physical symtoms that may require further investigation as being merely 'psychosomatic', then that is very problemtatic and very dangerous to say the least.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Should the UK have a free trade agreement with the US?,yes as it will encourage economic development in both countries by fostering investment and production on both sides. it will also help counter some of the negative effects of the recently concluded brexit.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Should we do more to combat climate change?,"i think overall everyone could do there bit with recycling and trying to lower their carbon footprint but overall the bigger companies and businesses need to be doing there bit too, and overall some help is better than none",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should we abolish student tuition fees?,"I would not say that we should abolish tuition fees, but rather re-design the system to provide benefits based on e income of students/families/households. And indeed arrive at a situation where studying should not meet any financial obstacle.",NO,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should UK universities be allowed to raise tuition fees as much as they want?,"No, universities should not be allowed to raise tuition fees as much as they want. Tuition fees are already very high and we are gonna end up like the USA where going to university is a privilege and people live the rest of their life with the burden of a big debt.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should we end the monarchy and become a republic?,"I don't see the point of the Royal Family. Yes, their presence contributes to the economy through tourism but it doesn't justify their prominence in society. They leech off taxpayers, just because they were born into the right family.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Is the UK better off inside or outside of the European Union?,The EU is becoming increasingly bloated and ineffective. Due to its size there appears to be more of an emphasis on corporatism and big business to the detriment of individual countries cultural identities. These are the sort of traditions and way of life that foster meaning and a sense of community. With larger organisations this individual flavour is lost to the detrimental of an individual and a collective of any size,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is the current healthcare system too bureaucratic?,its good to have a public healthcare system and have people from all backgrounds be able to access it. however its crucial they employ people in crucial positions that understand the healhcare system so they can make sure it offers a sufficiently good enough quality of service,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Should we allow the creation of genetically modified babies?,"No. This is too much power. You should not toy with human lives like this. I think there is a middle ground for removing illnesses and diseases and giving people a fair start, but this would too easily be turned in to something manipulated by the rich for eugenics, deciding on desirable traits and removing those they do not like. This could completely fracture society and end up with us in the hunger games.",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,8,Should the voting age be raised to 21?,"No. The voting age should remain at 18, when young ones at between the age 16-17 be tested and ensured they understand the voting processing before allowed. This is to ensure that young adults are not disenfranchised but allowed to make critical voting decisions to select those they fit to rule them. All decisions from the voting process tends to affect everyone directly or indirectly so its only right for all qualified and independent citizens be allowed to exercise their voting right",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should we discourage parents from having children after they are 50?,While I think over 50 is too old I also think there might be reasons why it was not possible to have kids prior to 50. In general I would think you shouldn't be over 50 when you have a child. Once the child reaches adulthood you are nearly 70 or above and in my opinion too old to be there for your child or even worse what is if you die young before your child even reach adulthood. Also as older you get your eggs or sperm is not the same quality as it would have been in your 20s or 30s. In general I'm against it but for exceptional reason due to health as an example it is ok.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Is the current government doing enough to improve social mobility?,"No and they are doing the complete opposite and are making social mobility even worse as inequality is growing ever larger as the education system is getting worse through lack of investment. The only thing a Conservative Government really ever offered anyone was the dream of owning your own home, they even extended that offer to council tenants but now the chances of owning your own home is becoming more difficult and far more expensive compared to previous generations. The rich are staying rich and the poor are staying poor and there is also a big divide within the country with too much focus on London and some regions are being completely forgotten.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should we implement policies that limit the wealth that people can accumulate?,"No, absolutely not. That is the road to communism. I am not rich and am never likely to be but I do have some savings and property. A limit on how much wealth a person can have will start off large so it only affects a few very wealthy people but it is inevitable that over time that level will reduce until it starts to affect more and more people. In the end, anyone who owns anything will be a target and will we find ourselves living in a communist society where private property has been abolished. No thanks.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Is it okay to eat dogs?,"In the UK, it is not OK to consider the canine as cuisine. This is obviously and arbitrary position as we eat all types of different animals, including horse sometimes. It is more of a cultural expression. In the UK many families incorporate a dog into the fold and they become loved as a family member, undertaking holidays and other activities as a group, because of this we as a collective have developed a special bond with our canine friends and they may be tasty, I don't know, but it would be quite abhorrent to turn them into a food.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,100,Has the rise of social media been a positive development in society?,"Although there has been much discussion of the negative aspects of social media, such as trolling, fake news and so on, I believe that the net effect has been positive. It has benefitted people in many ways. First of all it has made it easier for people to communicate with each other. This can work for pre-existing groups, and for new groups which can only be established through social media. Of course social media does need to up its game, this will surely happen, thorough pressure from government and others.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should the UK build new nuclear power stations?,"Global gas prices are extremely high right now, and it's taken its toll on everything. I believe the UK should build more nuclear power stations in light of the events with Russia having so much power over our gas. We as a country depend too much on other countries. Hence why a lot of people voted out of Brexit, as we should be building and farming more in our country and shores. For now and our future, we need to ensure we have an energy supply that is reliable, low carbon, and is affordable. It's crucial we generate this in our country, because when we have shortages it causes chaos, people panic buy and prices inflate beyond what people can afford. It's also crucial for Britain's independ",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,Should all religious schools receive some public funding?,"Religion creates division so I personally believe that no school should be divided up purely into a religious matter. I think by separating children from their friends and not letting them blend in with people from different cultures, different backgrounds and different religion then you are creating a world where people don't benefit. I think therefore no religious school should receive public funding.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,2,Should the King have to pay taxes?,"I am in two minds about it, but since this king would like to pay taxes like everyone else I would think it help for him to pay his way.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Should the UK government spend more money on renewable energy research?,The government must spend more money on renewable energy research. The climate change is real and we are in a very big danger. We can see that the weather is changing and becoming more and more extreme with every season. More funds need to be spend on research.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Are there some topics about which it is unreasonable to have an opinion?,"I wouldn't say it was unreasonable, but it may be inconsiderate to express certain views in specific situations, which suggests that it is more a question of diplomacy than unreasonable to hold a opinionated position. Furthermore how much validity do opinions really hold, some have been inferred via the scientific process, others from commonly held viewpoints, others from the TV and some people have spent a whole lifetime refining opinions in a single field of endeavour, so no it isn't unreasonable to hold any opinion, but whether it hold validity is an entirely different question",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,33,Should we ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030?,"Probably not by 2030 but there should be a concerted effort towards a ban as soon as possible beyond that date. At the moment battery production and infrastructure for alternative vehicles isn't up to speed so it is unrealistic to set a definite date at this point. Plus, there also needs to be a much improved syste of public transport to provide a viable alternative to the private vehicle. Again, this isn't feasible, especially in rural areas.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Is Brexit really a bad thing?,I don't personally think that Brexit is really a bad thing due to the fact that it good to have own laws and regulations and not just rely on Europe to make all important decisions. It is good to start thinking how and where to grow food to become more self-reliant and not dependant on other countries. Also it is not a bad thing if one considers the issues with immigration.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC be privatised and the licence fee scrapped?,"I agree with this opinion, that it should be scrapped. All the other channels on freeview do not require the money from tv liscencing. BBC play their own advertisements, so we are still subject to this.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,88,Should we tax sugary food to encourage healthier eating?,"Though I believe that taxing sugary food can encourage healthy eating and reduce obesity and related health problems by increasing the cost of unhealthy eating, I would like to point out that sugary food tax could disproportionately affect low-income earners who mostly rely on these types of food because they are more affordable.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the government use tax revenues to provide people with basic income?,"Yes, there should be a basic income for everyone. It should be enough for people to house themselves and have enough food. However, it shouldn't be enough for people to live a comfortable lifestyle without the need to work.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it right for supermarkets to charge people for using carrier bags?,"Supermarkets should charge people to use carrier bags, to dissuade patrons from consuming bags unnecessarily, that end up in landfill. This will incentivise customers to bring their own bags. The money charged should be paid to charities and not for the supermarkets own bottom line, as the bigger brands will inevitably be selling more bags due to having a bigger presence.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government spend money on preserving endangered species?,I dont think the government should spend a lot of money. A little is okay. I believe there are other things more important that require that money being spent on. We can spend that money towards education and healthcare systems. I am not sure why it is so necessary to preserve endangered species.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,37,Should we force landlords to install insulation before renting their property to a new tenant?,It would be a good idea to require landlords to install insulation. Studies have shown that insulation is one of the most cost effective ways to save energy and combat climate change. It also saves money for the person renting the property which is also important as these are often people who are not financially well off. While it might make renting properties a little more expensive in the short run this could be offset by government subsidies or tax breaks. it is likely to save money in the long term.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK adopt a different model of military service?,im not 100 percent i understand i what way thr mility should adopt a different model,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should we allow parents to put their newborn children up for adoption?,Newborn children should be able to be put up for adoption providing the birth parents have had sufficient support to make the decision and deal with the process. To force parents to keep an unwanted child would be damaging to both the child his/her parents. It is better that the child goes to a family who want to give the child the correct love and support.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Should people be able to sue companies for making people addicted to the products they sell?,No. Every individual consumer is responsible for his or her addiction issues not the companies that sells them,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Is it reasonable to prosecute parents who allow their children to skip school?,"No, I don't feel it is reasonable to prosecute parents who allow their children to skip school. You cannot physically take your child to school against their will therefore I feel the parents should not be punished for their child's actions. It damages family dynamics, family relationships and could potentially put a child into care if someone is a single parent and is sent to prison.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should the age for leaving school be reduced from 18 to 16?,The leaving age in England used to be 16 and I don't think it should have been changed and it should return back to how it was. I think children at 16 should be free for themselves to decide whether they want to continue in their education or start working. Maybe it should be changed or altered based on achievement and also careers advice and just because a child is a low achiever shouldn't mean that they have to continue to get better grades but could be suited for some kind of apprenticeship or training in a certain field.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,"Should we prosecute people who are caught using drugs that are not considered a health risk, but are not legal?","We should not prosecute people who use drugs, illegal or otherwise, health risk or otherwise. People should have complete autonomy over their own bodies. The state should have no say in what substances a person chooses to use for whatever reason. We have a rigorous justice system in place already to arrest people if they commit crimes which may be cause by using drugs such as theft, violence, public disorder etc. Many people can use drugs without breaking any of these laws so therefore should not be preemptively punished for doing so.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should there be a limit to the amount of fish people can catch for recreation?,Recreational fishing on a small scale using hooks should not be limited except it involves using nets or devices that will capture many of them at a time. I see recreational fishing as a fun activity that does not pose any harm to vast aquatic lives,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Do companies that use social media for advertising provide a societal benefit?,I don't think companies that use social media for advertising provide any societal benefit. It is not clear to me how any form of advertising benefits society much less advertising on social media. Social media has been shown to divide people and make people more extreme in their political opinions. It also has been used to spread misinformation. The only positive I can see is that the money from advertisers helps to pay some independent content creators who may be providing a societal benefit in some cases. However most of the advertising money goes to the social media companies themselves who I believe are doing more harm than good.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should the government ban smoking in all public places?,"Yes, but this should also include smoking vapes. There are a lot of health concerns around smoking. There should be designated spaces for people to smoke as some people really depend on this due to addiction.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the government provide a universal basic income?,This is a really interesting topic. It has been trialled in many places over the last few years and deemed to be a sucess. It would lift people out of poverty and give millions a fair playing field from which to start from. I think it would have to be targeted at middle to low income families with people already earning over £100000 not included unless there circumstances changed.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government be responsible for the cost of caring for the elderly?,The government should provide funding for caring for the elderly. If we're lucky we all get old and deserve to be treated with dignity in our twilight years. Many decent hard working people and their families won't be able to afford or provide good quality care for elderly relatives so it's only right that those who have paid their dues their whole lives are afforded the care they deserve.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should the UK allow for the commercial sale of cannabis?,"The question is whether the current law prevents the use and sale of cannabis. The answer is, surely not. The current law encourages the secret mass production of high-strength herbal cannabis in secret, using vast amounts of carbon-related heating - yet acquiring medicinal cannabis is difficult, forcing some respectable citizens to seek out dealers. If normal-strength cannabis, grown in hotter climes or in carbon-friendly greenhouses here, this would alleviate the problem",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Is it ethical to buy foreign produce?,I do purchase foreign product a lot and therefore I feel it is important I am from African and we depend on foreign products Here in the UK I import local african foods,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,"Should we introduce a third party to ensure that the British Broadcasting Corporation is providing a fair, balanced and impartial coverage of politics?","I think it would be useful to introduce an independent party to ensure the BBC provides unbiased coverage of politics. Recent news stories about senior managers at the BBC having links to Conservative politicians are worrying. Many people get their news from the BBC, and regard it as an independent source, so it's important that it is neutral. This is especially important when you consider the fact that the BBC is funded by the public. The BBC has not done anything to suggest that they are capable of policing themselves so a third party would be essential.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should a government guarantee every citizen access to a university education?,"No, university education should be only for those equipped to deal with it and form whom would benefit properly.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,23,Should we put a price on carbon?,"Yes. It's difficult to see how this can be legislated for in the short term. One of my opinions on the cannabis question (which was ignored) was that the illegal indoor cannabis farms use huge amounts of carbon-generated fuel to grow the plants. This can be spotted by monitoring suspicious gas and electricity usage, but the criminals use coal and wood instead. Certainly consumers domestic and commercial who use very high amounts of carbon could be identified and targeted.",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,5,Is it acceptable to use animals for medical testing?,No it isn't acceptable. The methods they use in testing are barbaric and cause great pain and suffering to the animals and often result in mutilations. The worst offender is testing for is the cosmetic industry which is testing purely for aesthetic reasons. The testing for the safety of medical drugs is also contentious. There must be other methods that can be used to test products before they are on sale for humans. Animal testing should be outlawed.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,19,Should all online communications be fully encrypted by default?,"Yes, i believe they should be, specifically fro privacy reasons. Individuals often divulge personal information during online communications, which if not encrypted can lead to potential serious issues such as identity fraud, from unscrupulous individuals/organisations. The reality is that many people are unaware of the potential issues with providing sensitive information through online communications, therefore to encrypt all communication by default provides a safety net for those who could potentially be harmed through no fault of their own. It would also deter anyone/any organisation from attempting to take advantage of some people.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Should we lower electricity charges for people who buy electric cars?,I don't believe we should lower electricity charges for people who buy electric cars. These are currently very expensive for the vast majority of people with only the better off in society able to afford them. If they can afford a new car they can also afford to run it. It is unfair that they should then be able to get cheaper fuel than the those who can least afford it.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban the production of plastic packaging?,"I think completely banning the production is possibly too drastic, there are good uses for plastic and it is cheap, which a lot of people need. However, I believe there should be banning of plastic that can be replaced by other, more environmentally friendly materials. For example, banning single use plastic. I do think that this could improve innovation of new materials, and has to be done eventually to offset climate change.",MOCK,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should voting be mandatory?,"No. Every government that I have know have expressed, in some way, the importance of democracy and the right to vote or not is part of that democracy. What are we voting for anyway? A government that helps people? YES. A government that speaks up for it's own? YES. A government that allows certain freedoms that come under the democracy banner? YES. What do we get, lies, infighting, name calling. So if we are disallusioned by political parties then we may not want to vote.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Are we too dependent on the car?,"I feel that we are too dependent on the car for transportation. This is borne out by the ever increasing numbers of cars on the roads which is causing pollution and congestion in many towns and cities. If public transport was improved in availability and cost then people should be encouraged to use that instead but at the moment it is unreliable, often unavailable and too expensive. This causes people to use their cars for more journeys, often just short ones. People could use bicycles or walk more on short journeys which would have the added benefit of being more healthy for them. We have become more lazy due to having cars and being so reliant on them that we choose to use them instead of ",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Is the human race overpopulating the earth?,"Whilst better health care has aided population growth I don't think the human race is overpopulating plant earth. There are still vast unpopulated areas. Disease, war and poverty all keep population under control. Despite governments claiming people are living longer this trend appears to be slowing. I believe nature will always control the sustainability of the planet.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Should the UK invest more in renewable energy or nuclear energy?,"I think the UK should invest more in renewable energy than nuclear energy. I appreciate both forms of energy for the positive impact they can have on the environment but I think renewable energy comes with less risks and is more accepted by the majority of the population. I know a nuclear energy disaster is highly unlikely but if something does happen it can be devastating. There are so many good options such as tidal, solar and wind energy that don't carry the same risks and are beneficial to the environment and will help in our fight to stop climate change.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Is it fair for the UK to import goods that are produced in countries with poor labour laws?,Poor labour laws often occur in developing countries where many people live in poverty. The Uk helps increase people's living standards and helps economically deprived countries increase their standard of living by trading with them. As long as we insist employers treat their staff to a high standard and that safety measures are met I believe we should import goods from these countries. We also benefit from our influence by trading with these countries.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Is it a good thing that humans are living longer lives?,I completely agree with this being a good thing. We only have a finite time on the planet and living a longer life allows you to accomplish more and experience more things that this planet has to offer. We should all try and maximise our precious time on the earth and live as full and happy a life as possible.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,89,Should the police and other government departments be required to publish all data that they gather?,"This isn't something I'm particularly passionate or aware of but I think given the bad reputation that the police and government departments have at the moment I don't see what would be wrong with them publishing their data. Especially data concerning things like internal disciplinary issues or inappropriate behaviour reports. In the last few years the police and government departments have been caught in numerous lies, cover ups and mishandling of information, data and complaints so I think that publishing all the data they gather could be a positive step in rebuilding their reputations.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should there be a limit to the amount of fish people can catch for recreation?,"Given the change in climate, the pollution in many rivers, oceans and seas, and the growing cost of living crisis, it's fair to say that fish is becoming less accessible for those who actually need it as part of a balanced diet. There are plenty of other things you can do to have fun than catching animals that could potentially feed people in a different scenario. So leave the fish to those who actually want to catch and seel it for food and find a more humane hobby to enjoy!",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should parents have the right to opt their children out of sex education?,"I believe parents should have the right to opt their children out of sex educations as school can teach this to children at any age really and some children simply are not ready to learn the complex knowledge and some children that are in these types of classes may not want to learn about sex education until a bit older because they simply feel anxious or they may be too young. Teaching children at a young age can have positive and negative affects on the child, as younger children might not understand fully about what is being discussed. Some parents may not want there children exposed to such information at a certain age and may want to teach there children themselves, it could also promot",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Is it time to introduce a nationwide ban on single-use plastic bags?,"I don't think an entire ban is the solution. For example, lots of hospitals rely on single use items for sanitary reasons. But I do believe in stricter regulations (I.e, how companies produce said plastics).",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Is it right for the state to subsidise the arts?,To a certain extend art should be subsidised by the state but it is a fine line of throwing money away on artist or subsidise a select few with promise. Art is important to society and should be encouraged .,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,11,Should the government support the development of wind farms in the UK?,Generating energy from the wind would reduce or completely stop carbon emissions. Therefore wind energy can lead to an overall reduction in carbon emissions. This is important issues especially with the rise in the price of energy and global warming. This will ultimately be a cleaner and less polluted way of generating energy.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should we use nuclear energy?,"I think we currently have to use nuclear energy to supply sufficient energy for our country's needs. It has been greatly invested in and does provide an alternative to fossil fuels. However, I think exporting or deeply burying the waste are only short term solutions. Before it was invested in, it should have been properly considered what to do with the nuclear waste. I wish we could invest in proper green energies, like wind or solar power, rather than claiming that nuclear energy is green when it actually produces hazardous waste.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should we do more to reduce traffic congestion in London?,"I dont think we should reduce traffic congestion in london as it's not a serious issue right now, London is a big busy city and there isn't much we can do about it. I think london is okay the way it is right now and there are more important topics to get onto first.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should universities be allowed to set their own tuition fees?,"Universities be allowed to set their own tuition fees may lead to significant disparities in access to higher education. Universities would be incentivized to charge higher tuition fees to maximize revenue, which could make education unaffordable for many students. Furthermore, that it could exacerbate existing economic inequalities by providing greater access to education only to those who can afford it.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,74,Should it be illegal for politicians to accept gifts from donors?,I believe that it should be illegal for politicians to accept gifts from donors beyond a certain defined level. It is important that politicians have some financial support to allow them to campaign but a cap should be in place to ensure that all candidates are competing on a reasonably equal financial basis. Allowing too much to be donated would make corruption much more likely,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the state provide universal child care for working parents?,"Yes I think they should, if parents are willing to work then they should get help towards child care so they can continue in their employment should they wish to, if non working parents are recieveing money for staying home then working parents should get money for going to work and putting their children in child care.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,19,Should all online communications be fully encrypted by default?,If there would be no hindrance to communication or any problems that could arise from doing this then I think all online communications should be fully encrypted by default. If it would only make your conversations safer then go for it. I would only have an issue if fully encrypting everything meant jumping through hoops every time you wanted to send a simple email to a friend and convenience was completely stripped from all online messaging.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Is the UK doing enough to combat the climate crisis?,"I don't believe so. The country (and world) is currently speedrunning towards the crisis and not doing enough to combat it. far too much is still wrong, one example being professional football teams taking private jets for a journey which would take a couple of hours on a coach/train. More regulation needs to be set by the government to avoid this happening. More needs to be spent on educating the public on what's happening and how all of us can do our part before it's too late",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,101,Should we have a system of mandatory voting?,"I don't believe it should be mandatory - if this was applied, it would be a forced aspect and may lead to people voting for a political group they have no understanding of or what it represents, which can lead to invalid and unjust votes. i think people should have a choice; it may be unjust and wrong for some people to vote i.e. religion may affect this. There are enough people who vote and make up the numbers, who have genuine feelings in their votes - there is no need to pressure people who dont have political beliefs as it will be meaningless anyway.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should we limit the number of times people are allowed to fly in an airplane?,"No, i dont think we should limit the time people are allowed to fly on airplane. This is not very important as not every has sufficient money to fly on planes all the time. Limiting someone on a plane is not going to affect anything. There may be an excessive use of fuel which could lean towards pollution however limitting people is not going to change the overall number of people on the plane.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Would it be a good idea to further increase taxes for individuals?,No. Increased taxation would lead to hardship and increase in crime rate especially in this period when the world is still recovering from the effects of the pandemic,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Should the UK maintain its membership in the UN?,"The Uk should absolutely remain part of the UN – the UN is the cornerstone of democracy, fairness and cooperation in the world, and is a force for good. Almost every country in the world is part of the UN, and there is strength in the collective.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should we require people to have a university degree before becoming a nurse?,"Not everyone can afford to do a university degree, many people do not want to have to pay back a student loan for many many years. Nurses should be able to learn on the job like an apprenticeship and have to meet certain standards before qualifying. A university degree ensures nurses are equipped to high standard but this can be learned as an ongoing process with on the job training instead.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,50,Should we have mandatory military service for all young people aged 18-25?,No. Young people's time could be spent on more useful activities. There is no point in forcing them to do something that would provide no use in later life. It should be purely voluntary.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,57,Do people have a moral obligation to give a little money to charities they believe in?,"I do not believe that people have a moral obligation to give a little money to charities they believe in. For instance, some people may not be able to afford to spare a little bit of money for a charity they support even if they want to, and they should not feel ashamed for this. It is possible that they could provide services to the charity in other ways, such as volunteering or taking part in fund raising events.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,58,Is a four day working week the key to the future?,The key to a happy life is a strong work life balance. Some employers seem to disregard the fact that a person has a life outside work. Studies have been done that show that a four day work week can improve productivity. It of course gives employees more time away from work to relax and enjoy time with their family so that when they return to work they are more motivated to work productively. I think it should be enforced by more employers.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,88,Is a 'sugar tax' the best way to combat childhood obesity?,A sugar tax is an unfair way to combat childhood obesity. It will hit the poorer families the hardest and wont stop children craving sweet treats.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Should the government subsidise more public transport?,yes the government should subsidise more public transport as this would make it cheaper for members of the public to get public transport meaning more people would use it and there would be less cars on the roads meaning less pollution,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,Should we abolish all private schools?,We should not abolish all private schools. I'm not sure what reason there would be to do this because the whole reason they are private is so that the students/parents don't have to rely on government-funded public schools which they may not agree with. Private schools allow parents to cater their children's education to what they want and not be at the discretion of a government they may not agree with. So no I do not think we should abolish all private schools.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should there be more or fewer restrictions on the movement of people across borders?,"There should be fewer restriction on movement of people across borders, specifically with the EU. We need to be part of the EU free movement of persons and the Schengen area. We also need to come up with better immigration policies for skilled or educated individuals. A moderate amount of emigration is good for a country.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Should there be a maximum number of people allowed to be members of the House of Lords?,"The house of lords is currently one of the largest parliamentary chambers in the world with over 800 members. having a maximum limit would allow the chamber to remain manageable and effective. The appointment of new members is currently based on patronage with political parties and the government able to nominate individuals for membership. This has led to concerns about legitimacy. A smaller house would be more efficient and cost effective. Greater efficiency, lower costs and improved legitimacy would ensure the chamber remains relevant and effective for years to come",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should all couples be required to attend pre-marriage counselling?,"I think that while pre-marriage counselling would probably be helpful and provide a valuable insight for most couples, it's incredibly intrusive to mandate that all couples are required to do so before marriage. Every relationship is incredibly unique and not all couples may benefit from or be interested in completing this. Despite this I do think it would be sensible for this to be suggested to couples prior to marriage as it would be an effective way for couples to address any concerns or issues within a safe space.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,97,Should we ban junk food advertising on TV?,"Junk food advertising contributes to a rise in obesity, especially amongst young children who are most susceptible to it. It promotes unhealthy eating habits and undermines efforts to encourage healthy eating. Junk food is a big contributor to many health issues and its consumption should not be encouraged.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Is it ok to buy products from countries with poor human rights records?,"No, an example should be set and that is not to buy products from these countries so that they don't benefit economically so that they can continue the practice any longer. People have suffered enough under these regimes.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Does the government need to place a greater emphasis on the health and education of young people?,"Yes, especially on health. We are seeing a significant increase in BMI for young kids out there. Obesity is on the rise and it needs to be stopped. In addition we are seeing less kids go and be active due to a heavy increase in technological devices such as smart phones, games consoles and desktop use. This will only make things worse as kids and even adults are glued to their phones. The government needs to introduce ways to keep kids active and healthy and make it more fun and activate a passion in them. Education is important, this and next generation are the future of this economy and the world. The government needs to look how young people can invest their time into making the future a ",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it ok to do business in countries with repressive regimes?,"No, I don't think it is ok. I think we should lead by example and only do business with countries where their citizens have the same liberties and rights as we do. Often in repressive regimes it is women and girls who are repressed by men. As women in our country have been fighting for centuries to improve our freedom of choice and equality I think it sends a terrible message to the women in this country if we put that concern aside just for financial gain.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Is it ever okay to lie to a friend?,"It is never really ok to lie to a friend, however i don't see no harm in a white lie. It all depends on why you need to lie in the first place, if you need to lie, than it is not a friend, however if you are lying to hide a special occasion or surprise than that is fine. Honesty is always important with people so that we all know where we stand and are on the same page.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Does the world's population have to rise to 12 billion before we hit the limit of what the planet can sustain?,"I don't know. 12 billion is an arbitrary limit. Malthus first proposed population limits in 1798, he got his figures wrong, and so has every ""expert"" since. The population of western countries and also China is declining, so we may never hit 12 billion.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Should we require that all new cars sold in the UK be electric?,i think that this should be put in place IF they can reduce the cost of buying electric cars. at the moment they are very expensive and almost unobtainable for most people. if the overall price could be lowered then people would be able to afford them which would have a great impact on pollution.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Is the current minimum wage too high?,"I dont think the minimum wage is too high, the cost of living means that it needs to be at its current rate or higher so that people can afford to live a reasonable life and pay for accommodation and food.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Should public transport always be cheaper than driving?,"Yes. Public transport is funded by the government and taxes, and public transport usage should be more encouraged as to be more environmentally friendly.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,49,Will capitalism collapse in the next 10 years?,"It is impossible to predict with certainty whether capitalism will collapse in the next 10 years or not. the current state of capitalism and its potential for collapse depend on various economic, social and political factors, including technological advancements income inequality, and global events such as pandemics and wars. However it is important to note than capitalism has undergone many changes and adaptations throughout history, and it may continue to do so",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Is it ever morally permissible to steal?,"I believe that in certain circumstances it is permissible to steal, but only from large corporations or companies that can afford the loss and only for the purpose of feeding children and to avoid starving We live in a world that no family should be left unfed, but unfortunately we are still having to deal with poverty and this is leaving people in these dilemmas that are avoidable",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Should Britain’s military be sent to other countries to help with relief work after natural disasters?,i believe that the British military should be sent to do relief work in other countries but also need to take into account that they need to be available to carry out their principle role of protecting our country and there should be other resource to help with relief within a time of war.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,55,Are we currently under-spending on defence?,I believe that we are currently spending an adequate amount on defence. I do not believe that we are under imminent threat of military attack but still have sufficient defences if any other country wants to start some stuff. The war in Ukraine has proved that our military gear and equipment is of a high-quality and significantly better than that of Russia.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,65,Is it a good idea to allow private companies to run prisons?,"no It not good idea it lessen the especially on prisoners treatments as prisons is the idea, to be hard on them, Some private companies might get too hard and cruel made up by own laws rules. Private companies only for hospitals or other events that do not required to be hard or harsh. The risk just higher.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Should the UK be more or less independent from the EU?,I believe that the UK should be more inclusive with the EU but not less independent. We should be part of the unity of the European Union so that we can trade fairly and help one another when times are tough. I was strongly opposed to us leaving the EU when we had the referendum and I still share the opinion.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,23,Should there be a carbon tax?,No. People and businesses should have free will to operate within the confines of the law and accepted norms and ethics. There is no reason to start penalising people and businesses because there are already very high taxes. Making adjustments to be more 'green' should be based on individual preferences and choice.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,37,"Should the state make it easier for people to buy their own home, even if that means higher taxes for those who already own their own homes?","The state should not make it easier for people to buy their own home, if it means treating other people in a different way. This is unfair and would set a bad precedent for other changes. The state should be involved in as little a way as possible.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should we ban smoking tobacco in cars if there are children present?,"We should definitely ban smoking tobacco in cars as it is a very enclosed space and certainly intesifies the second hand smoke inhallation, which is very dangerous for children. This would be quite difficult to police, however, it could be done in similar ways to drink driving. Although we have come a long way with not allowing smoking in public places, the law has not gone far enough to protect children travelling in cars who are open to this serious problem.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should the UK legalise marijuana?,"i DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE LEGALISED. While it may reduce some crime, having easy access to marijuana is not overall benefic for people",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the government subsidize the cost of prescription drugs for all citizens?,The government should not subsidize the cost of prescription drugs for those who can afford to pay for them themselves. People who cannot afford drugs that they really need should get some subsidy.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should the monarchy be replaced by a democratic republic?,I don't think the monarchy should be replaced by a democratic republic. We have some old and long standing traditions in the UK and the monarchy is one of them. They have been there for hundreds of years and I see no reason to change that. They are a great asset to this country and are responsible for a very large amount of tourism which brings money into the economy. The Royal Family are globally known figureheads who command great respect around the world. The support charities and other good causes and are acknowledged to be very good for the country.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,57,Do people have a moral obligation to give to charity?,I do not feel people have a moral obligation to give to charity. Donation depends on the person's circumstances and not everyone would be in a position to financially contribute. Likewise giving time to charity is not something everyone can afford to do. I believe it depends on where you are on the ladder of life whether you would feel such a moral obligation.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,35,Should we stop using the British pound as our currency and switch to the Euro?,"No, it is nice to have a unique currency, a unique identity for the country. Although I can see some benefits to a single currency like being able to spend in many countries without the exchange rates for example, overall it is best to have our own currency that is unique to us.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Should we seek to ban all cars?,"no, banning all cars would make people getting to and from work impossible, and even effect children getting to school, other ways to reduce the envoment effects should be looked into and funded alot more by government. electric cars are finally starting to appear on the roads but this has been a slow process.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Is it ever okay to use Facebook to track down someone you used to date?,"No. But the question is why would someone want to do this? There can be many reasons why, perhaps to check up on said person, or to have malicious intentions. It depends on the reasoning, however I would still side on the side of not okay.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Should we ban the use of fossil fuels by 2050?,Yes as if we do not there will be no earth for people to live on as climate change will get worse and the earth will eventually turn into a giant waste land which can not sustain life. We need to find more environmentally friendly ways to produce energy,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,15,Should the UK increase its military spending?,"Given the recent news on the issues with the standard of the current military and the ongoing war in Ukraine, I think it is important consider increase military spending. This of course must be balanced against the current cost of living crisis. Important for the government to be transparent with its spending policies and how any additional spending will be used to improve the military.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,96,Should there be a quota on the number of men and women on the boards of large corporations?,Yes at the moment. Ideally in the future this would be removed but right now companies aren't changing fast enough and need to be forced into growth.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,83,Do people have the right to sell a kidney for money?,"People should be able to do what they want with their bodies, however it opens up moral dilemmas. If an impoverished family can sell their organs for money, then it puts even more pressure on not being poor. It is the most transparent trade-off for health versus money, even more so than being able to afford healthy food or lifestyles. Which might be acceptable if there was more effort in society to give poorer people what they need to live and less social pressure placed on affording the most recent luxuries such as smartphones.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban the use of artificial flavours in food?,"Artificial colours should continue to be used in foods as they are important to the flavour. However, the artificial colours used should be safe to be consumed and should not be used unless absolutely necessary. There should be clear labels on the packaging so consumers are aware.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,36,Does the Earth's climate need to be actively stabilised?,"Climate stabilization is important for safety and security of earths species, ecosystem protection, management. the atmosphere moderates earths temperature through heat trapping greenhouse gases thus there is need to stabilize climate change.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,94,Should the government ban vaping?,"No I think everybody should have the right to vape but maybe not as much in public, the government needs to create vaping zones and also vaping can be seen in a good way as it is healthier than smoking and an alternative.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is there any value in having a two-tier healthcare system?,"Having a basic system that's more affordable does immeasurable good for many, but if people have the means to afford a higher standard of care, they should have that option too. While the ideal would be having one system that accomodates all for the lower price, it's not entirely realistic, so having a two-tier compromise is better than nothing. Though it overall seems like a stopgap solution and the end result should be that there's one affordable system for all.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Should the UK impose tariffs on goods from nations with lower standards for workers’ rights?,"I believe the UK should impose tariffs as the effect of cheap labour companies who typically offer low or no standards of working. These companies abroad in countries like India are used by the likes of fashion retailer Boohoo are using to make cheap goods which is contributing to a huge 'fast' fashion trend which is very detrimental to the environment and planet. The issue with this also means the little to no rights for workers, usually coupled with inhumane working conditions, is many workers will long hours with no breaks and compromise their health to work in awful conditions. Child labour is also used regularly abroad by these employers that show little care about their employees' righ",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should a country like the UK still have a royal family?,"Arguably a royal family is an anachronism, particularly the heriditary element. However it was long ago recognised that it was not appropriate for one family to have absolute power and the role of monarchy and state became quite distinct. We are governed by democracy and much of the royal family's role is now symbolic.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the government create a universal basic income for everyone?,"I believe that the tax system should be changed to top up everyone's income to the basic tax allowance level. This would create a simple system which would largely replace the current state pension and benefits systems. The current systems are complex, difficult to understand and expensive to administer.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,13,Should there be an immigration quota for the UK?,yes even more so that all these immigrants in uk right now and british dont like it and rightly so i had to wait on council list for 8years to get my first place and these seem to get housed straight away and allready a big shortage on housing for anyone a;so i think was liverpool where they in hotels and i even see a big boat or something woth lots of room but why was this not used for british people first never heard it offered to the people who are born and bred here,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Do we need to reduce the amount of money that's spent on healthcare?,"We do not need to reduce the amount spent on healthcare but we do need to resolve a better equilibrium as to who the money is spent on. Hard working individuals who have been paying contributions for years are constantly being penalized when they become ill. Others who have not contributed a penny receive the appointments / care while the contributor sits on the sidelines awaiting treatment BUT also continuing to work to further support the upkeep of others. The current situation is exacerbating this and we either step up and sort it or move to private healthcare completely, contributors are already paying so if anything they will be benefited.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,96,Should companies be obliged to report their ethnic pay gap?,"I don't believe an ethnic pay gap exists on a wide scale as it would breach numerous laws and make an employer liable. If there are companies which are underpaying staff based or sex, ethnicity or any other characteristic they should be prosecuted and held accountable. If the governments are just going to make companies release data on ethnic origin, which doesn't take into account positions, qualifications and hours worked, then this may show unreal gaps which may stoke racial tensions.",YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should parents be able to buy their children (under the age of 18) cigarettes?,"They should not, but the question is not really relevant. Parents are not going to declare whom they are buying cigarettes for.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Do children need to be told about how babies are made?,Children are inquisitive and are bound to ask how babies are made. Therefore they need to be given a general explanation of the process of pregnancy. However they do not need to know the details of conception until they are older.,YES,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,44,"Is it appropriate to have statues of famous historical figures, such as Winston Churchill, in public places?",I think yes as long as they are not related to any bad events in the history.,NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,73,Is a total ban on fracking better than a partial ban?,"Fraction should not be totally banned until we find adequate sources of power and fuel. As most economies around the world directly and indirectly depend of the proceeds of fracking, it cannot be shut down abruptly. instead, we should continue to invest in other forms of energy and fuel and while putting in place policies supported by roadmaps for total replacement of our sources and generation of energy and fuel. Additionally all organisations involved in fracking should directly invest in replenishing the cliomate",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Should we allow commercial advertising on public transport?,"Commercial advertising should be allowed on public transport at a fee. Any company or brand that wants to advertise on a public transport such as trains, bus or coach should be charged a monthly fee for doing so. In this way the government can generate funds to maintain the public transport and other infrastructures available in the society.",NO,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Will we ever be able to colonise the moon?,I don't think we will be able to colonise the moon because I don't think we will ever have the will or need to do it. We are already struggling for resources on tis planet and the amount it would take to launch a mission to colonise the moon would simply be unjustifiable when there are other more pressing concerns that deserve those resources more.,NO,,The group opinion was a more eloquent version of my own.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,55,Are we too dependent on computers?,"I think we are too dependent on computers. They control our cars, our homes, our manufacturing, our energy supply - the list goes on. A hostile attack on computers or a destructive virus could leave us helpless in the face of significant disruption. We would have to completely rethink the way our lives operate because we are so reliant on computers.",NO,,My view didn't change because there was no compelling argument raised that comvinced me my original opinion was wrong.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,97,Should we ban all advertising for children under the age of 18?,"I do not think we should ban all advertising for children under the age of 18, perhaps some of it helpful for them like advertising fatty and unhealty foods, stopping the yongsters getting obese, but on the otherhand advertising should be showing as they are living and growing up in the wide world and probably are subject to all advertising in their home and school environment. Adverting for example not to drink and drive is good for any age Perhaps more healthy adverting should be able for children under 16 and no so much of the ones that are advertising gambling and smoking. It is quite a think line on what advertising they should be privy too as some will take it for gospel and some will ",NO,,only changed very slightly in that banned to under 18 explicit adverts
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Is a university education essential for all young people?,"University education is not essential at all. Some careers you do need a degree etc so it is vital, however there is thousands of careers that don't need this. Working on the job in a company starting at basic level and working your way up will provide the same if not more amount of knowledge on a certain subject. I think in the present day it is a lot easier for people to pursue their dream career without the need of attending university.",NO,,This argument is ridiculous. The argument for is exactly what you can gain from not going to university too. Then it just makes out on the last sentence that the only reason people wouldn't go is because they couldn't afford to. What a way to divide class in this present day. Quite laughable!
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Is there a good reason for the state to fund the arts?,"yes, they should have motivation to do better and better art",NO,,My view didn't change at all
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the UK government increase funding for the arts?,"Arts is an important subject, especially as it has a lot of history, and is important that we keep the tradition going",NO,,I agreed with the other members on what was stated
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,Should we increase the tax on air fares in the UK?,"No I don't think this is a good idea. Flights are already very expensive. I think we should ask those on private jets to be taxed on their air fares and not the general public. After all, it is a cost of living crisis and people do not have the money for these extra taxes.",NO,,I don't think we should be charged any tax on flights full stop.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Should the UK ban overseas companies from bidding on infrastructure projects?,The government needs to deliver better infastructure to grow the economy and provide opportunities for people across the country. UK based companies should have first access to projects before foreign investments come in. It is important that we are not bought off by countries such as China who do not have the peoples best interests at heart in investments.,NO,,It has not changed as the group opinion is the same as what was written in my original statement.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Is it time to ban all cars from the city centre?,"No, it would not work, public transport is to much of a mess and unreliable to ban cars from city centres, you still need cars.",NO,,Its very much in-line with my views
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should the UK spend more on infrastructure?,"I think it is important to spend more money on infrastructure, for example, nationalize something as important as the trains, so we can do it our way and get a better service, a faster one and for less money.",NO,,My view has not changed because it was already the same to the group opinion already.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,49,Will the United States become a dictatorship?,"It's a possibility, given the way elements of the Republican party are moving, and if so it would make me deeply worried for several American friends. But I don't think it's terrifically likely as the Republicans tend to be both older than Democrats on average and more likely to be anti-vaxxers, so they die faster (a quarter of a million more Republicans than Democrats due of COVID 19 alone each year), and their would-be insurgents aren't very competent.",NO,,My stated view and the group opinion are addressing different aspects of the problem so they complement each other rather than conflicting.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,Should we replace the income tax with an additional value added tax (VAT) on goods and services?,I don't really understand tax it boggles my brain so I am unsure of whether I would be for or against this additional tax. I can only think that additional VAT would be taking more money out of the pockets of the ordinary workers and not the rich as usual. As I am unsure of the topic I have to go for a neutral view.,YES,,I don't really understand it but it seemed the group did more and I thought it would affect the poorer members on society which is what the other members commented on. They seemed to have a negative view of the tax so it made sense to also be more on the pessimistic side about VAT tax.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Is it okay to keep a wild animal as a pet if it's been bred in captivity?,"Keeping an animal as a pet is an horrible idea, a wild animal should always be wild, it belongs to nature and deserves to be free. It does not matter if the animal was bred in captivity, a wild animal is not a pet. Let wild animals live their own lives free.",NO,,My view has not changed because it was the same view that the group opinion have.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Is it right for the BBC to broadcast content that some people consider to be too offensive?,"I think there is a fine line between protecting those people who find something offensive, and censorship. I think that as long as controversial material is only shown after the watershed then the BBC should broadcast material that is more cutting edge. Otherwise we would be left with only dull content that does not challenge us to think. There are, however, some topics that are highly offensive, so there should be some limits on content.",NO,,The final version is very similar to what I originally wrote.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Should the government fine every citizen who does not vote in elections?,"No i don't think the government should fine any citizen, because voting is a personal choice. People have the right to vote or not. Its not ideal to fine any citizen.",NO,,My view did not change because group and talked about the same thing.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,84,Are we over-populated?,"We are not over populated. This is quite evident from the many job vacancies that we cannot fill. In addition, the birth rate is dropping, so this is a problem we are increasingly going to face - a high number of elderly people who may well need medical support and care, and a decreasing number of working age people.",NO,,"My view was close to the final opinion. However I felt the wording of the question was too vague - did it mean the population of the world, or of just the UK?"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Should the government fund the arts?,no l think they should not l think the government should be funding for important stuff like the NHS and put more funding into education.,NO,,some points made sense to me
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Is it a good idea to allow non-UK citizens to vote in local elections?,Non uk citizens should be allowed to vote in local elections. Non UK citizens who are registered as working in the UK are paying tax and as such should be able to have an interest in how their local area is run. eligibility to vote for non U citizens should be based on how long the person has been resident and if they are working and making a contribution to society.,NO,,My view has not changed at at all as I stand by my belief that non UK citizens should be allowed to vote
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should governments provide more funding for public universities?,"High quality education is increasingly available online. The actual cost of education should be declining, so it is unnecessary to increase funding. There are more important things.",NO,,None of the arguments persuaded me
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should we reduce the age at which people can drink alcohol?,"I think that reducing the age that people can drink alcohol in public would be a mistake. There are already problems with binge drinking in this country, and this affects the NHS and other emergency services which are already struggling to cope. I think it is better to educate young people about alcohol and help not make it such a taboo subject when young.",NO,,Because it was the same as the group view
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Is it okay to keep a wild animal as a pet if it's been bred in captivity?,"No not at all because wild animals are called ""wild"" for a good reason. They can't be tamed and would be very dangerous for anyone to keep as a pet. They should be put in a zoo or to be put back into the wild",NO,,Well my view hasn't been changed much but i agree with the final group opinion would be best for a sanctuary where the animals would be protected and safe.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Should the government more heavily subsidize electric vehicles?,not sure as electricity is very expensive and if the government can heavily subsidize electric vehicles so why could they not heavily subsidize the electricity bills.,NO,,because l felt my views were correct
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should there be a higher minimum wage?,"Increasing the minimum wage just leads to higher costs and inflation, followed by calls to increase the minimum wage again. Instead we should focus on improving the economy so that the market wage is high enough to live on.",NO,,Nobody made any good arguments
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,65,Should there be stricter punishments for people who pay bribes in the UK?,"I do not know what the current punishments are for people who pay bribes in the UK, so I cannot make an informed comment. My instinct, however, is no - there should not be. Instead, there should be stricter punishments for people who accept bribes, as this promotes the practice.",YES,,"I did not consider the business side of things or the scale of the issue. The Group Opinion gave me a broader perspective - bribes can be much more than just personal bribes for petty offences, they can be serious and used by powerful people or organisations."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Is the move to more sustainable energy sources likely to make a real difference to global warming?,I believe so. Fossil fuels are one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions and I think having more sustainable energy from wind for example would slow the insane rate of global warming a bit. It should be one of the highest priorities for all current governments in first world countries.,NO,,It didn't change much but the final group opinions view is a lot better than mine and a lot more in depth.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government encourage people to go into higher education?,The government should only encourage people into higher education where it is to the benefit of the individual and the country. There is no point encouraging people into higher education for the sake of it or if it isn't going to improve their career prospects. If the country has any shortfall for specific roles or professions then the government could encourage people into higher education courses that could help fill those shortages.,NO,,My own opinion was similar to the final opinion but some of the arguments given in the final group opinion have swung my own view to more closely align with that.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should we reduce the age at which people can drink alcohol?,"I think reducing the age people drink would be one of the worst things the government could do. We already have too many problems with alcohol related incidents, and allowing younger people to buy and consume alcohol would add detrimental effects to our health care and emergency services. There is an age limit for a reason, and allowing younger people to consume alcohol at younger ages is asking for trouble.",NO,,My opinion hasnt changed as it still remains that younger people shouldnt be able to buy or consume alcohol until they are at least 21.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,72,Is it wrong to use recreational drugs?,"The law should not punish victimless crimes, unless the result of those actions can have an effect on wider society. For example, crash helmets should be worn by motorcycle riders because of the protection they offer in the event of a crash, and the potential need for expensive hospital treatment if they are not worn. However while nothing is completely safe, drugs that are proven to be as safe as paracetamol, say, should not be restricted. There should also be a campaign of education regarding them.",NO,,The final group opinion is in line with my own views on the subject
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it OK for residents to remove bicycles chained to their front fence?,"Residents have the right and full control over their properties including their front fence. If a bicycle is chained to a resident's fence without permission, it can be seen as an act of intrusion on their right which I believe gives them the right to remove it. Also this might cause obstruction to free movement of the residents. So i agree that it is okay for a resident to remove anything that he/she is not comfortable with on their property including a bicycle.",NO,,The final group opinion closely align with my view.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it OK for residents to remove bicycles chained to their front fence?,"It is Ok to remove someone's bicycle that is chained to your fence. Why should someone be allowed to chain their property to yours. If someone wants to leave their bicycle, they should find one of the many bicycle racks that are scattered about cities and towns to do so.",NO,,I changed my mind that it would be better to inform the cyclist the first time it happens.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,50,Should a person's life savings be protected when their pension is being taken away?,A person's life savings may have come from lots of different sources and may have been the result of hard work. These savings will have already been taxed when they were earned and therefore to take them away would be wrong. By protecting these savings we might be supporting future generations financially as this may form inheritance. These savings might also contribute to care costs as someone gets older and needs support.,NO,,The final opinion was very similar to my original opinion and covered all the same points
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,59,Should the government subsidize public transportation so that it's free to use?,"It would be a good idea for the government to provide free public transport, as it would enable all people to have easy mobility regardless of wealth. This would allow poor people to go out and find better jobs without the need of money to pay for transport whilst job hunting. It would also encourage better-off people to use public transport rather than their own vehicles as it would save them money, which would reduce pollution and congestion. However the downside is that the cost would be considerable, so a more realistic option may be to subsidise it to make it easily affordable but not free. This would have the advantage of discouraging people making unnecessary pleasure trips on public ",NO,,The Final Group opinion is identical to my original opinion.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,97,Should we ban all advertisements for products that are unhealthy?,"while i agree that we need to cut down bad food advertising among children, we need still give chance other brands to promote. also we need to understand what unhealthy food is on the first place. we can still allow it on limited areas",NO,,"it was pretty much similar to the group one, maybe i got extra new info from others opinions"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,99,Should we ban right turns in central London?,"Although I have not heard much about this subject, I find it hard to believe that they could ever ban right turns in the center of a big city like London, it just sounds like something that has been discussed with no real logic behind the thinking.",YES,,"I did not have much of an opinion originally, but reading the groups opinions, it became clear that there is so much more to think about than just the banning of right turns"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,61,Should parents be required to provide a DNA sample if requested and their child is reported missing?,"On the surface, this seems like a reasonable idea. If they have nothing to hide then they shouldn't have a problem with it. It could also speed up investigation especially if they were not needed to be investigated. On the other hand, it does seem like an invasion considering the emotional position the parents could be in.",NO,,"still think there is a balance, it could help but there are privacy issues"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,"Should the UK adopt a similar approach to the Universal Basic Income experiments that are currently running in Finland, and the Netherlands?","It would be cheaper than the dole - but due to the housing crisis would not really be a basic income for essentials. I think it would work - but only after fixing various other things; the main one being a shortage of housing, the second one being the economy and the third inflation.",NO,,I mostly agreed withe the group opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we increase the tax rate on people who earn above a certain amount?,"I think we should increase the tax rate on the super-rich, or atleast close the loopholes where they can avoid paying their required share. Millionaires have been allowed to get richer via tax-avoidance schemes for years, which is totally wrong when it's poorer people doing most of the actual work.",NO,,"The final group opinion was just like the opinion i originally had, therefore my views didn't change"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,97,Should we ban all advertisements for products that are unhealthy?,"An unhealthy product is one that we would not want people to overindulge in. This means that increasing awareness and desirability of it through advertising is not really beneficial. For this reason banning advertising of these products (such as sugary cereals or sweets to children) is a good idea. These things can still be enjoyed in moderation or as treats, but aren't embedded into peoples' consciousness as desireable things to have. We have already taken steps towards this with banning smoking advertisements for example, this is a logical continuation of this.",NO,,"It moved to include more of the information included in the other opinions, but the main view itself has stayed the same."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Would the NHS be improved if the UK had a nationalised pharmaceutical industry?,"I think NHS would be improved if the UK had a nationalised pharmaceutical industry. It would reduce its cost of medicine, so that NHS could focus on other important sectors.",YES,,The group opinion has proposed a hybrid system which is pretty cool to consider. That is why now my opinion is align to the group opinion.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we raise the tax rate on higher earners?,"In general higher earners should be made to pay more in tax. However rather than achieving this by raising the rate, it is more important to close the loopholes which allow individuals to avoid paying tax. Simply raising the rate would just encourage others to avoid paying their tax.",NO,,The process only payed minor attention to my view and did not incorporate it into how it could relate to the overall group view well enough.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Should we limit the number of times a person can run for political office?,"i think that we should limit this as it provides a fair chance and an equal chance for others to participate; if the same people keep running then it means some people are being left out and it creates an unfair system. by limiting the amount of time, it ensures for less conflict and disagreement, and therefore means less political unrest. overall, everyone should have a fair chance in life at opportunities, and this goes for politics too.",NO,,didnt change or sway
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we increase tax on the rich?,"The highest echelons of society should definitely be taxed more. It is almost inhuman, and certainly unethical, to amass millions or even billions of pounds of wealth and not give back to lower-income people. Trickle-down economies do not work. By taxing the rich, we could improve the qualities of life for countless people in terms of public services such as healthcare and education.",NO,,The Group Opinion is almost word-for-word my original response.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should the government provide funding for high-speed rail lines between major cities?,"Yes, the government need to spend money on high speed rail lines between major cities so that people can travel and commute easily. At the moment they either have to drive, which is polluting, or fly which is worse. Taking the train is a far more pleasant way to travel from one city to another and frees up the roads.",NO,,My view did not change as I had similar views to the final group opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should we continue to have a Royal Family?,"I think that we should continue to have a royal family, as they bring in a lot of money to the UK economy. However, some of their privileges such as paying no tax should be adjusted, so that they are more grounded with the rest of the UK population. Additionally, their political power must be further restricted to ensure that they have no influence on the democratic process at all",NO,,because the my view and the group final opinion are basically the same
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should government pass a law banning all use of plastics?,"Yes I believe the government should start banning the use of plastics, something urgently needs to be done to help the environment and reduce harmful plastics that end up in the environment. There needs to be a better biodegradable alternative in place also.",NO,,"My view did not change, however I agree with some of the opinion regarding the recycling of plastics"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we raise the top rate of tax?,I don't think we should raise the top rate of tax. I think that tax is already high on those in the higher tax brackets and increasing tax will only discourage people from aiming high and working their way up. It would also cause unrest and upset if taxes were increased for the top rate. I understand that some increase may be needed in order to tackle inequality but I think many people are skeptical as to how tax payer's money is spent so the argument to tackle inequality may not work for some people.,YES,,"I agree that if the NHS will be funded more adequately, taxes should be increased. However, i stand by my view that im not sure if increasing taxes for the rich is the best way to do this."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,52,Should there be an age limit above which people cannot get married?,"i do not think there should be an age limit above which people cannot get married. If very elderly people are in love, they should be able to express this by making a big commitment if they desire to do so. just because they are old does not mean that they are incapable of realising what love is, and the commitment that marriage consists of",NO,,Because the final group opinion held the same ideas as my original opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,"Should the UK raise taxes on people earning more than $200,000 to help pay for the National Health Service?","Yes, I do feel that this is something worth considering. My concern is that if these people are already paying higher taxes they may move to someone where they pass less. This would be detrimental in the long run. The NHS needs more funding, and it needs to come from somewhere. This does seem like the obvious answer.",NO,,I don't think anyone can disagree about the NHS being underfunded and in financial trouble. I feel that more needs to be done and my opinion and reflections are indicative of this.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should we cut down on the number of fast food restaurants?,"Yes, we should cut down on the number of fast food restaurants Fast food is often high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sugar, contributing to obesity and related health issues among young adults. Reducing the availability of fast food can encourage young adults to explore healthier food options, leading to improved overall well-being. Fast food restaurants often generate excessive packaging waste and contribute to carbon emissions, so reducing their numbers can have positive environmental effects.",NO,,"My view did not change because I believe in the importance of considering multiple perspectives and finding common ground, which this argument did not consider"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,41,Should the government provide universal free childcare from birth?,"Yes, definitely, children should be a priority to the government, because a lot of families are struggling nowadays to raise their children properly, due to lack of financial conditions.",NO,,My view did not change because I agreed with the group since the beginning.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should we reduce the age at which people can drink alcohol?,"No, we should not reduce the drinking age. Alchohol related incidents cause harm in a variety of different ways, even amongst adults. By allowing younger people (children) to drink, not only will incidents increase, but there may be negative effects on their growing brains. Currently the drinking age in the Uk iK 18, and it should remain as such. Children of school age should not drink alcohol.",NO,,"My view remains that the drinking age should not be reduced, as the health consequences would likely to be negative."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,101,Should we move to a form of direct democracy meaning that people vote directly on issues via referendums?,"I think it would be easier if we move to a form of direct democracy, so there is less hassle when the time to vote comes.",NO,,Because I maintained the same opinion as the whole group.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,50,Should we raise the retirement age from 66 to 68?,"No I don't think so. I think this is unfair on people who have worked a long time, and also particularly unfair on people with more physical jobs. There are many reasons why people may want to work longer, but it should not be mandatory.",NO,,I think my original view is broadly in line with the group opionion.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,0,Is it ethical to use AI in the judicial system?,"While there's nothing unethical in the concept itself, for AI will be able to swiftly evaluate the case and compare it with the law, former cases, and countless other factors, AI simply is not that good at the moment. We have seen AI making up stories (eg claiming to know the result of a football match that hadn't even occurred yet) and presenting information that isn't true. Perhaps in the next decade it will be ready. But the eventual benefits will hopefully outweigh the problems with the current justice system (bias etc)",NO,,"It doesn't specifically conflict with the 'group opinion', and I still maintain that AI will be better equipped eventually than most humans."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,103,Does the average person really need a car?,"To me it depends on where you live. If you live in a city, you're more and likely going to be closer to certain places where you might need to drive. Also there is so much more accessible public transport. So in a city you could easily get away with not having a car. However if you live in more of a rural area, a car might be a necessity as you might not live close to shops and other places. There will be less public transport available as well.",NO,,Although my original view was pretty much the same as the group decision I felt like I felt more strongly about it at the end.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should we replace the monarchy with an elected head of state?,"Yes, nobody should be a leader as an accident of birth. No person is better than any other person by blood. People should be elected on merit.",NO,,The final group opinion matches my input sentences almost exactly.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Is Manchester United a better football team than Liverpool?,"I have very little knowledge of either football team, and little interest in football on the whole.",NO,,"I don't watch or play football, so I have very little knowledge of the game. I only watch the world cup matches, and that is all."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Should the UK government continue to fund the National Health Service?,"Yes. The UK government should continue to fund the National Health Service. This is because the level of those who depend on the NHS huge compared to those who can afford a private health insurance. The NHS was setup to help those who are not working, out of job and those who can't afford to pay for their own medical expense. Saying that the UK government to stop the funding of the NHS is like sending those who can not afford their own health expenses to their early grave. What I am saying is that, there are a lot to unpack before the UK government can stop the funding, that if it is possible.",YES,,This is because both the group and I are facing the same direction on this topic.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,10,Should the government restrict what children under 12 can do and see on the internet?,"The government should restrict what under 12's can see on the internet. the amount of harmful content that can be accessed easily through social media platforms is very concerning. age appropriate content is fundamental to other forms of media i.e. cinema, online gaming, television prgramming, so the internet should be not different.",NO,,The views expressed closely aligned to my own
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC’s license fee be cut in half?,"I would be in favour of halving the license fee - the BBC has a huge budget which is quite difficult to justify when outside of the core services, there is a lot of parts of their offering which have only limited reach and appeal. It would also encourage them to be more competitive in their offering and direct the resources they have into more profitable ventures, this in-turn would increase efficiency and cut waste. there is no incentive for the BBC to modernise because their existence doesn't depend upon it; they will be paid regardless. Given the precarious financial situation the country is in, this would be a welcome cost reduction for households and mean the BBC can be more commercial,",NO,,"I believe that my opinion is correct. some of the other suggestions/proposals were also very good and credible, but i don't believe they captured the essence of the argument."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Do you think that people should be forced to wear masks on buses?,"People should not be forced to wear masks. If you want to wear one, that is your decision, But imposing such a rule doesn't seem right and it's like corvid all over again.",NO,,Because I have my own opinion and nothing here encouraged me to change it.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Does the UK have an obesity problem?,The UK does have a problem with obesity. Eating habits have channed and their is a much greater reliance on ready meals and tak aways which are more generally unhealthy. Leisure activities are also more sedentary with gaming and online pastimes not requiring any physical activity.,NO,,All views expressed were broadly in line with my thoughts
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,83,Should people who are eligible for organ transplants be given priority based on their social impact?,I believe that organ transplants should be given in the order of specific need rather than social status as i feel that is more relevant.The social status of a person in my view should not have any favouritism with regards to getting an organ transplant in front of somebody else.,NO,,The final opinion was explained better but the principle of non donation for social impact stayed the same.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should the UK continue to recognise the King as head of state?,"Yes, the Royal Family as a whole are part of our constitution and a consistent in our history. The benefits that having a figure head provide for global recognition of the country at a high level and with the traditions which are admired across the globe, enhanced trade opportunities through international trips and the ability to negotiate with other leaders. Constitutionally, the King also heads the government and ultimately, if needed under the worst situation, could dissolve the government, so there is a surety and safeguard in place.",NO,,"There were elements that were not thought of by myself initially, especially the aspect surrounding colonialism, but generally other than that, my opinion remains as positive towards the King as Head of State"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should the minimum wage be lowered to make jobs more available?,Lowering the minimum wage would increase pay inequality and decrease the quality of life of workers on minimum wage.,NO,,My view has not changed because nothing has changed my view.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,62,Should all people in the UK be required to wear a face covering when they are in public?,"No, I think this should be a matter of personal choice. However, I would suggest an exception to this being medical environments such as hospitals.",YES,,"It changed in that I agree with the additional considerations made by the group around educating the government. However, I still disgragree that mask wearing should be encouraged in general public spaces."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban all single-use food containers?,"Yes, we should ban all to help reduce waste and energy. Saving the enviroment should be the most important thing we should all be focusing on,",NO,,It was good to add the time limit and some of the others user in the group added argurments that I thoiught were very good.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,60,Is it acceptable to hold a protest against something that you are not directly affected by?,I think it is acceptable to hold a protest even if you are not directly affected. It shows solidarity with those who may be affected. Sometimes people have to speak out against things or raise awareness of issues this way that others may not be aware of. Protesting against something that doesn't directly affect me could also show that I care about my fellow humans and creatures.,NO,,"My view did not change, I think that the final group opinion was more eloquently put than I could manage in the time allotted."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,101,Should we replace the voting system in the United Kingdom?,"I don't see the need of it.I am honest that I am no expert and I cannot really judge that.I am also a foreigner and I havent voted in this country, even though I have been resident for many years.I still feel like an outsider and Brexit just made me feel worse.As a consequence I dont participte as much in political life and don't really have strong views, I find this whole system a bit fake, tories always making things worse and full of hypocrisy and lies, as for the voting system I am not sure how that could change.I would need to look into it more in order for me to be able to judge and decide.",YES,,"I agree with the final group opinion , I could not express that properly but it touched some interesting points.I , during my residency in this country, had the chance to observe the issues discussed in the final group opinion and I totally agree with it."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,55,Will we have the technology to download your brain onto a computer chip within your lifetime?,"There are quite rapid advances at this time with for example AI technology but I am unsure if this would be possible within my lifetime. I think the technology needed to pull something like this off would be high. However I don't feel strongly it would be impossible, the honest answer is I don't really know. Technology does seem to be advancing very quickly right now.",NO,,I'd say mu view stayed more or less the same but I agree with the final wording of the group opinion. It expressed it much better than my original thoughts on the subject and in a more concise way.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Should the government increase spending on the NHS or on defence?,"Spending should be increased on the NHS, as it's in dire need of this. Many people are struggling to get an appointment at their GP, and operations are being delayed due to the strain being put on it. If the funding isn't increased, then this will only get worse, and those with the money to go private will do it, while people who can't afford to do that will suffer. It's clear that defence is an important element and we must also spend on this area too, but the NHS is the clear winner in this argument.",NO,,"Because again, my viewpoint matched those of the others."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,78,Should the government provide funding for high-speed rail lines between major cities?,Yes I think the government should provide a certain amount of funding for high speed rail lines between cities. However I think that the budget should be looked at carefully as I feel there are other things which are just as or more important. It is an improvement if more people will use the high speed rail lines as it will mean less cars and therefore less polution around.,YES,,I agree that the smaller towns and villages should be considered as well as the major cities
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Will Universal Basic Income have a positive impact on productivity?,I believe the impact will be mixed. It will allow some people to upskill without having to worry about making ends meet in the short term. However people may work less.,NO,,"The opinions did not factor any potential downsides, although I agreed with the upsides they gave."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Would the NHS be improved if the UK had a nationalised pharmaceutical industry?,"A nationalized pharmaceutical industry could lead to reduced drug prices, better access and foucsed reaserch. However, it would require careful planning to ensure efficiencey, innovation and competition within the industry.",NO,,The consideration of the hyrbid approach swayed my thiking
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Do we need the monarchy?,WE DO NOT NEED THE MONARCHY. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF OVER PRIVILAGED PEOPLE WHO LOOK DOWN THE NOSES AT THE REST OF US.,YES,,THE ARGUMENT FOR THE MONARCHY IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should the UK keep the monarchy?,"I think we should keep the monarchy as it's a long standing tradition in the UK, and though it may feel outdated I feel like it will change. They provide a lot of money from income through travellers visiting. They have also provided a lot of support in the uk through charities like the princes trust. I feel as one william becomes king, things will be different.",NO,,There wasn't any convincing argument against my option so I had no reason to change it.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should employers be forced to provide their employees with at least one day off from work each week?,I think it is important that workers get at least one day off from working each week to recover from any stresses that occur at work and to allow them to spend time with their families. Not only is this proven to be vital to workers mental health but it has also shown to improve workers morale and positivity when actually in work making them work better and to a higher standard.,NO,,I think the final opinion of the group echoes my opinion well and if anything added further reasoning as to why my opinion was right and balanced.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should the minimum wage be raised?,"I agree it should be raised to help workers who depend on the minimum wage. Cost of energy has increased by ridiculous price hikes and without an increase in the minimum wage, people's livelihoods are affected. I do acknowledge however that for businesses, increasing the minimum wage comes at a bad time because they need to stay competitive. But I would side with the worker on this school of thought.",NO,,I did agree that the minimum wage should be increased
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,"Should the UK raise taxes on people earning more than $200,000 to help pay for the National Health Service?",Yes. That is a lot of money to earn and would take from a few to benefit the many. The NHS is in dire need of more funding and the government clearly does not have this money.,NO,,The points raised in the group opinion were the same as mine; albeit some points I did not manage to verbalize when writing my own opinion down.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC be funded entirely by licence fees?,"As for this one, I do not really have a opinion either way. I am a little bit worried if they are not funded by licence fees that the channels with wither and die, due to needing alternate funding avenues and not receiving them (aka from the government, etc)",YES,,It changed because at the beginning I had no opinion either way - I didn't mind however I have been convinced that it should be abolished.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Should we force social media companies to censor bullying and harassment?,I don't think we should get social media companies to censor bullying because there needs to be a line drawn somewhere in terms of human rights and free speech- for example who is to determine what is bullying and what are their motives for doing that? I feel it is a slippery slope once you start to censor people.,NO,,because my view is fairly strong on this topic although i can see both sides of the argument
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,75,Should it be legal to eat horses?,I don't have a truly strong opinion either way. I personally would not choose to consume horse meat but other cultures may. I don't like the idea of sending more animals to slaughter.,YES,,The views were stronger than mine and fairly educational so based off the new information my 'new' opinion was formed.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,74,Should there be a cap on the amount of money politicians can raise from donations?,"Yes I feel there should be a cap, or atleast a cap on how much of the donations they can keep for themselves and cover it as tax or fee's etc. The government will do anything to gain extra money at the expense of the public and it's people. I think a cap should be put in place that when it reaches a certain percentage of what they can take off the donations and keep for themselves, then it should either be stopped or they must not take any more money than they are entitled to in the first place.",NO,,I think when I read the other opinions it opened my mind more to what the question was asking and not just basing it on donation's to run the government but also to personally help them get into office.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,46,Should we accept more workers from countries outside of the European Union?,I think it is important that this country attracts tallent from all voer the world. We don't have enough people to support all industriesin the UK. We need people with certan skills to come here to fill vacancies and provide the expeertise needed.,NO,,my view already reflects that of the group
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,57,Does the British government have a moral obligation to support international development?,"The British government has a slight moral obligation to help international development due to a position of privilege it currently experiences, which is in part due to a past of amoral and unethical means of expansion, such as the British Empire, which caused uncountable damage to some parts of the developing world. The British government should give back to countries that it impacted for its own growth and expansion.",NO,,The group view elaborated on my opinion and added some extra thought and context.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,65,What should be done about anti-social behaviour?,"People displaying anti social behavior should be identified early and provided support such as counselling, mentoring or therapy sessions.",YES,,"My view was already similar to the final group opinion, however the group opinion suggested more rehabilitation methods, such as factoring in for those who may not be able to develop social skills by providing people displaying anti social behavior with their own accommodation and support workers."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,63,Should there be a referendum on Scottish independence?,"I think it's high time Scotland becomes a sovereign state. Although they speak English, they have a distinct culture that separates them from the British and they have proven they can survive alone economically.",NO,,the group also agreed that the Scottish people should get a referendum but all things must be considered.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should we raise the top rate of tax?,I think we should reform the tax system and make another band. There should be a fourth rate band which is for the top 20% earners in a particular country. This would be of course hard to implement!,NO,,Its basically the same opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Was Prime Minister Tony Blair right to take the UK into the Iraq War?,No he wasnt. There wasnt none of the weapons of mass destruction like he claimed and it wasnt a country that had anything to do with 911. it was all just a big lie.,NO,,i just think the whole thing was based on lies
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Are the benefits of nuclear energy worth the risk of nuclear meltdowns?,Yes I think the benefits outweigh the risks. We still dont have enough other forms of energy generation to cover our needs without it. All my life I have lived near 2 power stations and had no problems the risk is miniscule. I understand the worries people have but the need is greater in my opinion.,NO,,I still think we need to use nuclear power until we have developed enough greener ways to provide the energy we need.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,19,Should we require all government websites to be made accessible to the blind?,We should definitely ensure that all government websites are accessible to the blind. To live in a society in which government websites are not accessible to the blind is discriminatory. Inclusivity means equal rights. Accessibility is particularly important in this context - the accessibility of government websites is essential to all citizens.,NO,,I shared the views expressed by the contributors.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,86,Is it okay to use personal data to make inferences about people's character and personality?,"As long as you have consent, you may use people's data to make inferences about people's character and personality. However, it is ethically wrong for these inferences you have made to be published in some way, or to have an impact on the person, as these are only guesses and do not reflect the person's actual personality. An example of this would be categorizing someone as full of themselves, based off of an inference using personal data.",NO,,"My view did not change because the opinions had a similar argument to mine, however I mentioned the ethical considerations in making an assumption of character/personality."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,20,Is the UK too small to remain an independent nation in a globalised world?,"I'll be honest I'm not sure what this means. If this means should we have opted out of the European Union, then I don't think we should have.",NO,,I'm still not convinced I know enough about it.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,63,Should there be a referendum on Scottish independence?,No there shouldn't be a referendum. the united kingdom is better as one.,NO,,My view has not changed as I believe the referendum is more political than reality
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should governments provide more funding for public universities?,I believe that universities should receive increased funding due to their huge significance in society. Adequate funding not only benefits society as a whole but also stimulates the economy - playing a crucial role in shaping the world for future generations. Universities are vital in propelling academic advancements and discoveries forward. They must be sufficiently funded.,NO,,My views were expressed by the other participants in the study - I shared these views prior the study.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,0,Is it okay to use artificial intelligence to make important decisions?,I believe it is okay to make decisions using artificial intelligence. AI can help in the initial fact finding part of decision making as it has access to huge amounts of information and excels at filtering to find good information. Ai can safe a lot of time and effort in this regard. It can also help sometimes to find the most logical solution to a problem.,NO,,The group opinion is very similar to my initial opinion just with some extra arguments.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Should we build a nuclear power station on each of the islands of the UK?,I believe we should build a nuclear power stations as this is a clean source of energy that could help make the UK independent when supplying its own energy and no longer having to make deals with problematic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia. As the UK doesn't sit on any fault lines a nuclear power station wouldn't have the same risks as Fukushima in Japan had. If we had a power station on each Island in the UK we'd potentially be able to export any additional energy to other countries which in turn would benefit the UK economy,NO,,The group consensus aligned with my own opinion the entire time but with different but valid points being made.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,29,Should we limit the amount of sugar and fat in foods?,"I personally think that the monitoring of sugar and fat content is an extremely important issue. Yes, we should be controlling what goes into our food. This can aid in the prevention on obesity, dental health and other health issues caused by high sugar and fat. It is not necessary, only harmful.",NO,,I don't believe this view is even up for debate. It is simply health and wellbeing.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Does the King have too much power?,I think to a greater extent the King has too much power. When the king is ordained he is given power. The will use that power to rule so yes he has power. Unfortunately there are other kings who tend to misuse or abuse this power such that members of the public end up refuting the king to be given too much power.,MOCK,,Mock explanation.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,39,Is the move to more sustainable energy sources likely to make a real difference to global warming?,"I believe that the move towards sustainable energy sources is likely to make a difference to the future trajectory of temperature levels. A large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions is due to energy production and transportation. Moving towards low emission energy sources (such as nuclear power, geothermal, solar, wind and others) will make a significant difference. However, this is dependent on these technologies being adopted in countries that currently are high emitters (such as China and India).",NO,,My personal view aligned very closely to the Final Group Decision - and it formed the basis of the Group Decision.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,Should we raise taxes on petrol?,"I dont think that taxes should be raised as this is the biggest tax con in the world, the government knows the vulnerability of the economy and they use the petrol prices to control the price of most consumable products therefore raising all prices, so a tax on fuel would just compound the pressure on an already unstable economy.",YES,,I was slightly swayed by the group decision as it did make sense
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should employers be forced to provide their employees with at least one day off from work each week?,"i do not understand how this can be a good thing for anyone, companies would surely go under in such a case",NO,,running my own business means that i know that this will cost me money
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should we legalize recreational use of marijuana?,"I believe we should, there have been numerous studies published that shows the benefits of marijuana and the potential impacts it can have on society. I think by decriminalising it, it stops the issue being such a taboo and allow people to enjoy it without the charges that could apply. In small doses it can have a net positive on our society.",NO,,"It hasn't changed, whilst heavily argued and I think regulation and moderation are key, ultimately it is a personal decision"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,Should we raise taxes to pay for improvements to public services?,I would be willing to pay more taxes as long it will be used to improve public services. Each year we pay more and ore taxes for like health service or public services but I never see any improvements actually the opposite I see more and more cuts happening.,NO,,While I agree in some way with the above Final Opinion I think more money is needed to improve public services even more
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should the minimum wage for someone who is 18 be lower than the minimum wage for someone who is 25?,I really dont know the answer but I would think that anyone over the age of 18 may be considering a house purchase or a wedding and or a baby so maybe anyone who is 25 or above would need a bigger salary therefore a larger minimum wage.,YES,,I still believe that younger people should have less than a 25 year old.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the UK adopt a Universal Basic Income system?,Universal basic income would benefit the UK greatly and has its benefits such as employers having to pay fairer wages as no one will take a job that is underpaid if there is a basic income that everyone has. It would also encourage people to spend surplus money back into the UK Highstreet which would help grow the economy as a whole. Although if everyone has more money this could also lead to inflation so those who also don't have a high paying job or are unemployed may actually feel worse off as the cost of living would be higher.,YES,,I thought the arguments stated in not supporting UBI were very strong and found myself agreeing with the points being made.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should the minimum age to purchase tobacco be raised to 21?,"I disagree with raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco to 21, as I believe keeping it to the age of 18 is sufficient. The current minimum age of 18 is used for other regulated products like alcohol and gambling, so it should stay at 18 for this reason. More should be done overall to discourage the purchase of tobacco for all ages though, including time limits when you can purchase it, increasing taxes and prices.",YES,,"The arguments that at age 21, you are more mature and less inclined to be pressured to start smoking won me over to agreeing that raising the age is a good idea."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should we raise the smoking age to 21?,Yes I feel the smoking age should be increased as I believe this would benefit the younger people as they would be more mature and would be less likely to start smoking. The only downside of this would be that it would likely increase black market of tobacco sales.,NO,,The group opinion had ideas that I had not thought about so it was more detailed than my original opinion.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Should we increase our foreign aid budget?,"As a so-called 'first world country', it should be one of our duties to help those less fortunate than us. Not least because a lot of the countries that require aid are ones that are still feeling the effects of colonialism that we forced upon them. From a selfish standpoint too, helping others will also help ourselves in the long run, in regard to better international relations, trade, etc.",NO,,I still believe it is our duty to help other and our selves if possible.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Should children under 13 be allowed to use social media?,"I don't believe that children under 13 should be allowed to use social media, and this ties into my belief that we should be looking much more at the wider social effects of social media and into restricting social media due to harmful algorithms, complicity in genocide, and so forth. One could argue that children might have a want to stay connected with friends and family, but it's my opinion that this can and ought to be done elsewhere and not to allow impressionable children into ostensibly adult spaces.",NO,,My view hasn't changed because I broadly agree with the final group opinion.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,63,Should we give the UK's remaining colonies in the Caribbean their independence?,"I believe that we should give the UK's remaining colonies in the Caribbean their independence provided they want it. However, this doesn't mean that we should cut them off, or stop providing support where they would still like to receive it. Similarly, I think that we should consider whether they are due reparations for slavery and resources that we have taken away from them.",YES,,"My view changed to take into account the consideration that there should not be a new mass legislation. However, my view did not change to reflect the group opinion that the amount of time during which the ex-colonies would be supported should be curtailed."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,25,Should we legalize recreational use of marijuana?,"Yes - doing so would result in a number of benefits - 1. Quality control - this will ensure that bad ingredients are not able to be included. It will also ensure that there is uniformity with strength of the product so that people using it are safe. 2. The government will earn tax revenue which could be put into things like the NHS. 3. It will stop arrests for petty things, such as carrying a small bit of weed which can harm the futures of young people. 4. It will result in job creation, for example people will be needed to work at marijuana shops. 5. Will help with things like pensions for people working in the trade of selling weed.",NO,,"I agree with the points made in the final group opinion, and many of the points i made originally seem to be those of the final group opinion"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,70,Should all the schools in the UK become co-educational?,I think there are pros and cons to co-educational schools. It can help break down gendered stereotypes for all genders and foster healthier relationships and mindsets towards mixed-gendered friendships. It can also be unhelpful =for those with certain religious needs or for those with certain need,YES,,My view ultimately did change as I didn't find I had too much of an opinion either way initially but now lean towards the fact that most schools should be co-ed with a few exceptions for special cases
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,64,Is the UK becoming more like the USA?,"I think there are ways in which the uk is becoming more like the US. There are increases in right wing comments, same as in the US, which are quite concerning. Another concerning topic is the increase in racial discrimination which is also increasing in the UK, following the increase in right-wing supporters. There is also increasing more crimes, of both sexual and gun violence.",NO,,It's not that I didn't agree with the statements made but I had not voiced them in mine. SO I agree with the team statement.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Is the National Health Service worth its cost?,"Overall yes i do think the national health service is worth the cost, however over the previous few years it has begun to decline and i feel it is slowly losing its justification. i feel sorry for some parts of the health service as they are doing their best with limited resources, however other areas are failing. I lost my dad last year and the way he was treated and the way information was fed back to us was awful and made losing him even harder to take. Unless something is done soon i will lose faith in the health service and argue against it.",NO,,my thoughts are exactly as the final statement is
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,"Should we impose higher rates of income tax for those earning more than £150,000 per year?","Yes, I totally agree that there should be higher tax rates for those earning much above the average wage. I think it's much fairer that the people who earn a lot more, pay more because them paying more tax would have a lot less effect on their financials than somebody who earns just an average wage and has to pay much lower tax. I think it's fairer for society this way because the higher taxes for the richer people will help the country a lot.",NO,,"My view didn't really change, others in the group wanted higher tax rates but still for them to be as low as possible not to offend the rich whereas I wanted to be more harsher with the tax rates."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC’s license fee be cut in half?,"I think it should. The cost of living at the moment is insane, and it would help the British public massively. I get why we have a TV license it's so that we don't get adverts on BBC channels. But the amount of people that probably have a license must be huge, so I doubt it would be that big a hit to them.",NO,,"My view stayed the same, I just feel the group opinion was worded better."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should universities give admission priority to disadvantaged groups?,"Yes, I feel that they should. This is because - 1. Many people come from backgrounds where they are economically disadvantaged, which is completely beyond their control. This can affect the education they receive and also links to people in careers they may want to enter. 2. Family history, such as whether or not parents have attended University will affect whether children go. This can be linked to many disadvantages such as economic or social issues. 3. If a student from a disadvantaged background performs well academically, this can be a strong indicator that they are an exceptional candidate, doing well in the face of adversity and performing better than peers who have been given advanta",NO,,"I felt my initial arguments were strong and succinct, and the final opinion had some of those arguments contained in it"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Should the UK give unconditional support to the US in international matters?,"I do not think the UK should give the US unconditional support in international matters because unconditional support is a dangerous promise to make as we do not know what plans the US may have for future international matters - it should be decided on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, both the US and UK have a chequered past in terms of invading other countries with hostile intentions, using other countries to further their own self-interest and abusing their power, sacrificing other countries to do so. Thus, offering unconditional support is dangerous and in fact should be carefully considered before any decisions are made.",NO,,I still believe the UK should not be blindly supporting the US and should be careful in future matters of support in international support. I agree with what is expressed by the Final Group Opinion but believe they should be even more firm
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,66,Should parents be allowed to opt out of sex education classes for their children?,"No. Children should be taught things that may run counter to a parents beliefs and opinions. Every generation should be more knowledgeable than the previous one, and withholding information because it challenges the view of the world that parents may, either through religion or prejudice, is not something we should entertain as a society.",NO,,"I believe the caveats given in the group opinion are wrong, and counter to what I wrote."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,85,Is it a good idea to start work on another runway at an airport in the London area?,"It could potentially be a good idea to start a new runway as this would increase the supply of planes in the london area which could make flights cheaper and thus lead to more tourist and easier holidays. It could however be a poor decision as the extra pollution produced, as in the impact on the actual world and the local environment from things such as extra noise pollution etc",YES,,Because i like the idea of a new transport system and the use of renewable energy to outweigh some environmental costs
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,67,Should there be restrictions on the age at which children can enter a nightclub?,"There should definitely be restrictions on this. Children should not be allowed to enter nightclubs at all, even in the company of an adult. These are not safe environments and they might be permitted to access alcohol or drugs. Their personal safety would also be compromised.",NO,,The views which were expressed supported my own views.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should there be a cap on the amount that universities can charge for undergraduate courses?,"I have no strong opinions on this subject and I have heard only limited arguments. From what I have read and heard it seems quite a complex issue. On the basis of the little I know it seems incongruous to saddle students with large amounts of debt when they are starting out on working careers. My general feeling is that courses should be funded differently to the current method, but in the absence of that a cap would be my preferred option.",NO,,"My basic view didn't change, but some of the opinions reinforced and expanded on the view I already held based on limited knowledge."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,19,Should all public buildings be required to be accessible for people with disabilities?,I believe all buildings should be required to be accessible for people with disabilities as it is only fair that everyone should be able to go in whichever building they wish. Its is not too difficult for a new building to install a ramp alongside stairs or an older building to have this work done. Its is important for people with or without disabilities to have the same access.,NO,,we all had very similar opinions
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,80,Should the UK continue to subsidise the arts?,I am a little divided as the arts need the support. However in the current financial climate I believe the money could be better spent in other sectors and supporting families.,NO,,My view was already very similar to the final group opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,Should we replace the income tax with an additional value added tax (VAT) on goods and services?,I do not think it is necessary to replace the income tax with an additional added tax. We already pay tax on goods and services so there is no need to add an additional tax. We pay enough.,NO,,My view has stayed the same - but I completely agree with the group consensus. It describes how I feel in more detail.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,45,Should we put more money into the arts?,"The creative arts industry is a unique industry, in the sense that the value added to the economy, can be much larger than the value of the creative work, itself. For example if I write a book and it sells a few copies, if it is adapted into a play in the theatre or a movie at the cinema, the value produced is much greater when it's superimposed, than by itself. The Gross Value Added is greater than the Gross Sales Revenue. Overall, for every £1 spent in producing creative arts by grinding the gears, £3 gets added into the economy from all the ancillary activity that such work helps to foster.",YES,,Because I can agree with both opinions at the same time
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should we allow people from other countries to come and work in the UK?,Yes. our country was built on immigration. The NHS would not be able to survive without it now or in the past. I am from a family where they immigrated to the UK from Ireland and i feel like we have added to the community and economy of this country and I am proud to be a part of the UK. There are also jobs which are crucial to the economy which we rely on immifrants to fil..,NO,,I agree that we should welcome people in to our country
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,87,should we raise airline taxes?,"This question is complex and raises many issues that involve a few considerations such as it's economical impact, environmental impact, fairness and equality",NO,,My view has not changed as there is no definitive answer to the question.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should all companies in the UK be required to make a yearly donation to charity?,I think it depends on the size of the company or turnover. No way can small family companies afford to do this but its no problem for companies like coco cola or Amazon.,NO,,my view was it depended on the size of company and turnover.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Should the King have any say in choosing the Prime Minister?,"Absolutely not, It should be a completely democratic vote with only the public having the ability to decide the next Prime Minister. The King Is born into a position of privilege and this should not dictate the future of our nation.",NO,,My view was almost identical to that of the final group opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,2,Should the government eliminate inheritance tax?,"Yes, the government should eliminate inheritance tax. I just believe that everything does not have to be taxed as when it was first bought whatever the inheritance that has now been received is already taxed so why again? The Government is already collecting tax on everything and inheritance should not be one.",NO,,The final group opinions only made me understand that my opinion is correct
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,82,"Should we invest more in science and research, or in social services?",i think we should invest in both science/research and social services. they are both very important to us at different times of our lives. science and research obviously help in the future but social services helps people in need straight away as its needed.,YES,,it has highlighted other thought on this than i had thought of myself
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,56,Should the police have the power to use facial recognition technology to search for suspects?,They definitely should not have this power. the police can abuse it by racially profiling random suspects or just it to see who they think might commit a crime. sometimes people can be in the wrong place at the wrong time but that doesnt make them guilty. also putting that make power in the hands of a goverment istitution just makes it prone for people to abuse it in other ways like by stalking of follwing random people or perhaps people in their own lives like an spouse or partner etc.,NO,,the group had nothing convincing to say on the matter
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,40,Should we ban the sale of single-use plastics such as plastic straws?,"It would take some getting used to for the public and perhaps the process would have to be phased, however, ultimately I believe for the future of our planet its a necessity.",NO,,"Although I believe we need to phase out single use plastics, maybe it's needed quicker than I first considered"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,48,"Should the UK raise taxes on people earning more than $200,000 to help pay for the National Health Service?","Yes, I feel this would be fairer on society. I feel that the gap between the rich and the poor is simply getting bigger, so paying more tax would make things fairer. Also, more happier countries in the world pay more tax, so it is in our interests to ensure richer people pay more tax.",NO,,"My view was kind of similar to the group one, so did not change in essence."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,26,Should we replace the monarchy with an elected head of state?,I am a monarchist. I like having a monarch. It represents a heritage spanning many centuries and should not be thrown away like other countries have done. The bring in vast a amount of money through tourism,NO,,I would not want a referendum in any way shape or form regarding abolishment of the monarchy
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,7,Should we legalise some drugs for recreational use?,We should not legalise for recreational use as this would lead some people to move onto more dangerous drugs that are easier to become addicted to. Legalisation would be bad for social and would lead to higher levels of crime. To be balance I would support legalisation for supervised medical use,YES,,I was persuaded that legalisation in limited circumstances might be beneficial and be better for society.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,Should the UK have a universal basic income for all citizens?,I think it would be very useful for the UK to have a basic income for all citizens. I think by setting a livable amount then this could prove very useful. It would encourage more people to go to work. I also believe that it could help people get out of poverty too.,YES,,At first I thought it was a better idea to have a set income but after reading what the groups had put then I actually see that these points are more valid.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,"Should we use a Basic Income Guarantee system, where all people in the UK would receive £100 per month in cash?","This system would greatly benefit vulnerable, low income etc groups of people. Unfortunately, it would not be feasible as the goverment would have to spend a tremendous amount of money every month to continue this scheme running. The money would also be given to people who do not require such financial support, such as rich people. A potential solution to this, is every person earning under £25k pounds or/and claiming benefits would receive such sum of money",NO,,The group opinion was very similiar to my original opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,43,Are genetically modified foods harmful?,"Genetically modified foods can help us to work against unfavourable climates to ensure we have sufficient production levels. Although that being said, there is detail we may be unaware of for GM foods that changes opinion, there is perhaps not enough public knowledge out there on the matter.",NO,,I do think some of the points in the group opinion are valid.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,12,Should we give more money to the UN to help poor countries?,"As an advanced society , it is our moral duty to assist other countries with domestic issues, this should be done with using scientific advancements and technologies, that benefit a country to develop, this should be around Agriculture, Green issues, Shelter and Water. the UN provides the best way to distribute these funds, however this doesn't mean that it is perfect or immune from corrupt practices. if we look to assist developing nations it will help combat more negative effects such as unnecessary migration, climate change and conflict.",NO,,"i think the final group opinion, consolidate my view better."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,51,Should the UK government continue to fund the National Health Service?,"I think it is important for the government to fund the NHS to ensure that everyone has access to the help they need. Unfortunately in this country there is a divide in wealth, so if the government didn't fund it then the people who are on the lower end of the wealth scale would likely not be able to afford medical treatment. This is a basic human right so we need to make sure that everyone can get the support they need so we don't have unavoidable deaths.",NO,,The final group decision basically matched the opinion I gave at the start
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,104,Should the government increase funding for the public health system?,i feel that the government are wasting money on things like foreign aid for example we give millions of pounds every year to india for aid where money would be better if it was invested in the nhs also the waste of money on green ideas like electric cars when the country does not have the infarstructure to implement the ideas would also be better off spent on the nhs,NO,,because my opinion was shared by all in the group
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,101,Should we move to a different system of democratic voting?,I don't think the current system is working well enough to not make any changes. I think changes need to be made to reflect more the opinions of the general public.,NO,,"I didn't really have an idea on how to improve the system, the group opinion has given a clear change that could improve the current system."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,6,"Should the UK adopt a similar approach to the Universal Basic Income experiments that are currently running in Finland, and the Netherlands?","I am not aware of the universal basic income that is currently being used in Finland and the Netherlands so I do not currently have a strong opinion either way. But from what I know about Finland and the Netherlands I feel like it would most likely be good as they have a great work life balance so will probably be great, but as I said I am not aware of what it actually is.",YES,,I firstly was not aware of what the basic income was but now I am I am fully on board and think it is a great idea.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,Should employers be forced to provide their employees with at least one day off from work each week?,"I think there is a case for this as 7 days working in a row is quite a long time to have to put family second and not have a rest day. But some jobs do not fit easily into this pattern, such as healthcare, where there is a staff shortage and staff are asked to pick up spare shifts or cover for sick colleagues at short notice. In this case staff may be asked to work many days in a row without a day off, and I think in cases like this an average of working days across a period such as a month should be used, so that the staff member does catch up on the days off not taken. Staff well being and mental health is incredibly important, so I do believe there should be some measure in place to balan",NO,,"The group talked more about the benefits associated with time off work, which I agree with totally"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,69,"If you were not planning on using your annual holiday entitlement, should you be allowed to give your days off to your colleagues who would like to use them?",These were days that were always allocated to being a holiday for somebody and as long as the person who will be taking the holidays work is being covered by the person that giving the holiday to them they should be allowed to use it,NO,,The end opinion is the same opinion I had at the start
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,7,Should police be allowed to stop and search people for drugs if they are in an area known for drug dealing?,"While the use of illegal drugs can devastate communities and the lives of individuals and I do believe that the accountability lies with the dealers rather than the addicts, I think we have to use caution when allowing police to randomly search for drugs. Unfortunately areas where drug dealing is high are often lower income and more diverse communities. These areas already have a strong distrust of the police and random searches will only increase this. Random searches may end up relying on profiling which could lead to discrimination and people of certain groups being unfairly targeted because of how they look and dress. It also risks punishing addicts more severely with prison sentences ra",NO,,"I agree with the final group opinion. While it is not what I originally wrote it does echo my sentiments that yes we need to do something about drug dealing, but randomly searching people is likely not the answer in areas known for drug dealing. Using undercover police if possible and getting the co"
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,34,Should the government provide free contraception to everyone?,"Yes, the governement should pprovide free contraceptive to everyone as it is an essential medical requirement, and fully fundable under the expensive national health insurance everyone is already paying. Not onlt that it is the ethical way to do to support people with imminent medical needs, the outcome would also be worse if it was not provided in time of needs, as it may cause unwanted child, orphans , overuse of emergency pills or bad family background growingup leading to violent or sociapathic behaviour in the child.",NO,,i agree with the group opinion
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,68,Should we force social media companies to censor bullying and harassment?,"We should not force social media companies to censor bullying and harassment, that would be very irresponsible for them to do to mask a situation. If a social media was to censor bullying then we are just really ignoring a massive problem for people everyday and creating a false reality that it doesn't happen when it does every single day to thousands if not millions of people everyday which effects mental health. Mental health is a big deal these days so for social media companies to do that wouldn't be supporting mental health at all.",YES,,I missed out about education which i really agree with and didn't think about that myself
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,1,Should we allow people from other countries to come and work in the UK?,"Yes, we should allow people from other countries to come and work in the UK. For some sectors, the UK does not have enough people with the appropriate skill sets to fill vacancies, rather than leaving those jobs unfilled, they should be allowed to be taken by people who have the appropriate skills, but come from outside the UK. They should be able to do so without all the red tape that currently puts companies off looking outside the UK for employees. For other sectors, such as fruit picking, vegetable picking, etc, there are not enough people in the UK willing to take on those jobs, they should be allowed to be filled by people from outside the UK and more rigorous rules, checks, etc, shoul",NO,,"My view has stayed the same, I agree with most of the group opinion, but would still remove the sections about people being allowed to come here, only to fill jobs the UK citizens can't fill, etc."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,14,Is it a good idea to allow non-UK citizens to vote in local elections?,"yes, I think it is a good idea for non-UK citizens to vote in local elections because if they are resident in the area they are impacted by decisions made at local government level so they should have a say. However, I think the duration of their residence may also have to be factored in eg if a student was just in the area for a semester then it may not be as necessary for them to be included.",NO,,"my view did not change, I feel anyone who is resident in the uk and is impacted by local government decisions should have a say, but temporary residents eg one semester students may not be appropriate to include."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,96,Is a high rate of inequality bad for society?,I think a high rate of ineguality is bad for society. All people should be equal in the society in which they live. We all have equal rights on Earth.,NO,,I never chage my mind.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Should there be an age limit on who can run for Prime Minister?,i think the age limit for someone being able to run for prime minister was not in effect but the lower de faco age lime is 18 and the upper limit sould not be set unless there is a medical reason,NO,,my opinion was the same as the group
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,71,Should everyone have to pay an income tax even if they are earning less than the current minimum wage?,"I think that those that are earning less than minimum wage should be penalized by having to pay income tax at that level,. I believe that tax brackets depending on your income is a much fairer way of taxing people at different thresholds.",YES,,It has not changed but it has further reinforced my feelings about the issue.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,100,Are the costs of globalization outweighed by its benefits?,"Similarly to the last question, I'm not sure I know enough about this topic to form a true opinion, but from my understanding, I think my answer would be that the costs of globalization are outweighed by its benefits. I know from things like people trying to nationalise the rail systems in the UK, that is usually seen as a good thing to change, as it would result in cheaper rail fares. I'm sure there are better examples, but this is the first that came to mind.",NO,,"I think I have just become more educated, although my overall view is the same, just more developed now."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,81,Should the government ban the sale of products made by underpaid workers abroad?,"I think they should provide some legislation to prevent sweatshops.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,30,Should the King have any say in choosing the Prime Minister?,"No, that's what democracy is for and general elections. The king is nothing more than a historic figure / tourist attraction. The royal family generates a lot of wealth for the UK and overall I think is good for the economy. However, they're not qualified to have any meaningful opinion on who is best to make decisions for the country.",NO,,I agreed completely with the group and vice versa
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,23,"Should we try to reduce carbon emissions to a certain point, or should we aim for complete decarbonisation?","I believe we should try to reduce carbon emissions to a point of complete decarbonization because the rate at which climate change is occurring is ever increasing and frankly, not enough is being done on a collective level by our society. There are of course those are actively conscious of trying to reduce their own carbon footprint but many of us lead lives in which we prefer convenience and ease over a more environmentally friendly alternative. Moving ti a completely decarbonized society is not something that can happen overnight however which is why there should be an even greater incentive on us to make those changes and enact real change that can help slow the devastating rate at which ",YES,,"I considered that whilst wholesale change at one time is not possible, gradual transition to a decarbonised society is the most effective way to protect our existing services."

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,50,Should we allow both men and women to serve in the military?,Of course we should allow both men and women to serve in the military. We live in a modern world and any suggestion that one particular sex should not be allowed to serve is ludicrous. Both are more than capable of serving.,NO,,I still feel that unquestionably women should be allowed to serve and in whatever positions they want and are capable in.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,24,Should every person have to carry some form of national identification?,Carrying ID on your person should not be necessary at all. It sounds as if we are living in war time or living in some sort of dictatorship. I don't agree with having to carry ID.,NO,,My opinions and views are mine. I was not influenced by the group.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should we raise the minimum wage in the UK?,It is important to raise the minimum wage in the UK. This is because many people do not get what they need to live decently. The current minimum wage is too low compared to CPI and inflation. This could also prevent industrial actions in the future.,YES,,My view has slightly changed because others have provided more details that I did not think of.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Is the BBC a worthwhile public broadcaster?,I believe that the BBC is a worthwhile public broadcaster. They do not have the pressure of advertisers dictating what they can air. They have more scope to produce quality programmes. Their news programmes are generally less biased or leaning towards a political party. They have made some of the finest dramas and documentaries.,YES,,"I hadn't considered all the more recent scandals and their impact. To be truthful, I had been thinking of the more positive aspects of the BBC."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,16,Should universities charge students tuition fees?,I think they should not charge students as they never used to. It should be government funded as education is neccesary for people to get good jobs and you should not have to be miss out on education because you cannot afford it or pay back debt with interest for wanting to learn.,NO,,i still believe its the governments responsibility to fund education to uk citizens
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,4,Are the benefits of nuclear energy worth the risk of nuclear meltdowns?,Yes I believe that the benefits of nuclear energy are worth the risks of nuclear meltdown. In my lifetime I can only recall a couple nuclear meltdowns (Chernobyl and Fukushima) and nuclear safety I believe is much better now. Nuclear energy from what I understand is clean and efficient. There is an energy crisis all over the world and this would solve many problems for the country and for the poor who are struggling with energy bills.,NO,,"I think essentially my view and the group opinion are the same, so my opinion hasn't changed to match the group opinion."
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,17,Should the BBC be funded entirely by licence fees?,"The BBC is an outdated and no longer fit for purpose entitity, it was created at a time when society, social, cultural and technical arrangements and values were different. Just like the American Constitution no longer being fit for purpose and causing a road block to improvement in society and ending harm, the BBC license fee doesn't fit into our current societal model. TV, streaming, digital, it has changed and is no longer the same as when it was established. Society now has access to a wider variety of sources and materials and the BBC needs to modernise and the license fee doesn't serve its purpose. It is a burden now and a force for evil and not for equality or improvement and is put o",NO,,My view has not changed as it ignored the truth completely. It is proven and fact the BBC is biased and not independent. It doesn't serve the charter and punishing those that cannot afford the license fee denies them access to all others channels.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,38,Should the minimum wage be lowered to make jobs more available?,"the minimum wage should not be lowered because the current minimum wage is even not enough, which i think should be increase",NO,,Because i believe the current wage is too small and should even be increase
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,23,Should the government set targets for reducing the UK’s carbon emissions?,The government should set targets for reducing carbon emissions for companies operating out of it's country,NO,,The final group opinion is the same opinion I had from the get-go
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,18,Should it be illegal to be paid less than £10 an hour?,"Yes I think it should be illegal to be paid less than £10 on hour. I think this because the cost of living has got ridiculous and people are struggling to survive and eat a decent meal, even having to use food banks so anything below £10 an hour wouldn't be fair",NO,,because the statement is in line with what I feel
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,human_opinion,55,Are we in the midst of a 're-skilling' crisis?,"I think we probably are in the midst of a re-skilling crisis. Many young people leave education without the soft skills that many jobs now need. There are many younger people working in industries that don't require many skills such as social media influencers and when they become too old to remain popular amongst their followers whom they rely on, they will left to look for work without many skills.",YES,,My view hasn't changed but expanded with reading the group opinion.
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,66,Should parents be allowed to opt out of sex education for their children?,"Sex education is very important in schools, as it is not always something that is spoken about at home. Parents may not have the time to sit down and talk about sex education or may not have the right information to give their children. We are living in a society where sex and sexual orientation are more accepted and are becoming more common. Sex education can give children the tools and knowledge they need to be safe in sexual situations and it can help them understand themselves better. We all feel that if children were not to get sex education in school then they would be missing out on something very important that they will use in their lives and will help them to be safe.

The jury accepts that parents would want the best for their children, however we feel it is unethical to use genetic engineering for this purpose.

Many children have the wrong diet and exercise too little, leading to overweight and obese children. With this in mind, we feel that more public money should be spent to help reduce childhood obesity. Parents need to be made more aware of the problem, and the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Also, we feel that some money should be spent on trying to teach children about healthy lifestyles, in order to ensure that the problem of childhood obesity is addressed for future generations.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

This can be seen in wages, housing and many other areas of society. The effects of this inequality are being felt by people of all classes and ages. The government is not doing enough to address the growing inequality gap in the UK. We believe that inequality needs to be addressed more and we suggest the following steps:",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,44,Should Britain remove the statue of Winston Churchill from Parliament Square?,"No, Britain should not remove the statue of Winston Churchill from Parliament Square. Churchill was instrumental in ensuring that the Nazi's were defeated in world war 2 and he should therefore be given credit for that. However, he also made some bad errors when it came to the famine in Bhopal which led to millions of people dying. Also, he allowed Kenyan people to be tortured. I therefore believe that he did some good and bad things and consequently do not have a strong opinion on whether he should be glorified or not. A statue is in any case not something I personally care much about.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,75,Should it be a criminal offence to feed your dog chocolate?,"No. It would be difficult to enforce.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,1,Should the UK continue to license radio frequency spectrum for use by the general public?,"The UK should continue to license the radio frequency spectrum. Licensing ensures that there is a fair system for people to access the radio frequency spectrum and it prevents an unfair situation where a few businesses take control of the radio frequency spectrum. It also ensures that there are a variety of programmes on the radio which will allow for different groups to have their views expressed. However, a review should be undertaken of how the licensing is currently managed and whether it meets the needs of the general public.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,94,Should we ban all smoking in public places?,"Smoking in public places should be banned. Smoking is not only harmful to the smoker, but is also an unethical health hazard to others nearby. The effects of smoking on the health of those nearby are immediate and long term. There is evidence to support this. Banning smoking in public places would significantly decrease the level of passive smoking by reducing exposure of non-smokers to toxic fumes.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

Many of these buildings and places were built a long time ago and hold an important past behind them. The past is a beautiful part of human life, and in many ways, we can learn a lot from the past. This is why it is important to preserve old buildings and historical places. They are beautiful to look at and give a nice ambience to a town.

This is generally the accepted legal age for adulthood in the UK.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,21,Should there be more taxes on cigarettes and alcohol?,There should be more taxes on alcohol and cigarettes. These products are not necessities and any increase in tax would reduce their use. Also the additional revenue could be used to provide more funding for the NHS. Conclusion: This is an example of how consensus can be achieved. The initial statement was expanded and made more precise after the first round of critiques. The consensus achieved was well supported by all the participants.,MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,5,Is it ethical to use animals for scientific research?,"“I believe that the use of animals in scientific research is a very complicated issue. In some cases it may be absolutely necessary and in others it is unnecessary. However, it is difficult to define when an experiment is absolutely necessary as a lot of the time the effects of a drug or chemical are unknown. Also, I think that there needs to be some sort of balance between the welfare of the animals and the research to be carried out, if an animal is going to suffer from an experiment then it is unethical. However, some experiments may not harm the animal at all, for example, a very small incision to take a blood sample.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,70,Should there be more or less government funding for primary schools?,"There should be more government funding for primary schools. Education is important for individuals, communities, and society. More funding for primary schools would have a knock-on effect in terms of benefits for society, such as lower crime rates, lower unemployment, and an increased proportion of the population being active in the community. More government funding for primary schools would be a good investment in the future, as the world will be increasingly based on science and technology, therefore an investment in primary schools should be a priority.

The beach is a great place for people and their dogs to spend time together. As long as the dogs are well behaved, there is no reason for them to be excluded from the beach. If a dog is on the beach, it should be kept on a lead unless it is playing in the water. In any case, the dog should always be supervised.

The group agrees that cellphones can be distractive and cause students to lose focus on their work, but can also be used for a learning experience, and could be a benefit to the students learning.

The government should demand that schools ensure their pupils are more active and take part in meaningful physical education.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,43,Should we have greater controls over the use of pesticides?,"In conclusion, we believe that there should be greater controls over the use of pesticides as they can be dangerous and detrimental to the environment and our health. Pesticides can also have a negative impact on wildlife. However, there should be no outright ban on the use of pesticides as we can see that in some circumstances, their use can be advantageous. Pesticides can be very useful in that they can improve crop yield and increase the longevity of crops which can be beneficial to developing countries and improve the food security of the population. Therefore, it is important to come up with an appropriate balance. This section of the meeting concludes with a round of applause and a gla",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,68,Does the media have a responsibility to report things accurately?,The media has a responsibility to report things accurately. The consumers of media need to be informed about world events. In the information age the world needs media that is accurate and timely to ensure that consumers are not misled by inaccurate information. The spread of misinformation is dangerous and a regulatory body must be established to ensure that the media is held to a high level of accountability and if necessary force outlets to display caveats on articles to highlight their previous inaccuracies.,MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

This innate sense is developed throughout life by watching those around them, especially their parents. They also learn from society in general, by listening to the news, watching tv and learning from their peers at school. I believe that some people are more morally aware than others, which makes them more likely to engage in good deeds and help those in need.”",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,40,Should we ban single use plastics?,"We believe that single use plastics should be banned. The rate of plastic entering the environment is simply too high and the harm caused by this is far greater than any possible benefit that could come from these products. It would be impossible to replace them all immediately but we should strive to replace as many as possible as quickly as possible, in the long term. The ban should be implemented as quickly as reasonably possible, however the government should not be too strict on the timescale.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

However, the final decision should be left to the parents. The reasons for this is that at young ages, children are not yet able to make their own decisions, as they lack the experience or maturity to make the best decision for them. Therefore, it is necessary that we leave the decision making process to the parents. As children grow older, they gain experience and become more mature. Therefore, they should be allowed to provide more feedback on the school they would like to attend.

It also enables countries to benefit from the free movement of goods, services and people, giving businesses and individuals more opportunities in trade and personal lives. The UK leaving Europe, Brexit, has shown the immense damage that is caused to a country and its citizens by leaving its neighbouring trading block.

This could support the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and may bring them closer to achieving statehood. Although, it could also harm efforts to reach peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Careful analysis and diplomatic efforts are needed to make a judgement on this situation.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,78,Should the UK invest more in large-scale infrastructure projects?,"Yes, the UK should invest in more large-scale infrastructure projects. This is the case because these projects will benefit the economy by providing new jobs and creating wealth.

There is a lot of evidence that animals are often treated badly in circuses. Animals in circuses may be kept in cramped, unsanitary conditions, causing long term suffering and sometimes early death. Animals in circuses may be mistreated through bad training methods based on fear and punishment. This can be physically and psychologically damaging to the animals.

Education is a basic right and should be available to everyone. Basic education would be primary and secondary education. In order to ensure that basic education is free and easily accessible to all, the government needs to provide enough schools and support teachers. The government should also provide support for people who are not able to attend a traditional school, and need to learn at home or in another way.

Other serious life choices are unlocked at a younger age, like voting, smoking, and joining the army. It is illogical to raise the drinking age to 21 when 18-year-olds can vote, buy cigarettes, and fight in a war. A high legal drinking age attracts people to binge drinking due to the temptation of doing something illegal. A legal drinking age of 21 will not decrease the prevalence of binge drinking.

On the other hand, if the migrants are taking jobs that require less specialised training, then this should be allowed as long as it is not taking jobs away from UK citizens.

As one of the richest countries in the world, we have the ability to provide assistance to those who are in dire need of it. However, the UK is also made up of people who are in need of assistance.

The idea of banning flights over areas of natural beauty and certain sensitive locations, such as military installations, is important and should be enacted. The issue of noise pollution should also be addressed as part of this and a wider solution, and we should also think about how we are to protect areas from the threat of terrorism.

Climate change will cause a shortage in food and will mean that we will have to rely on importing more food which will increase our prices and the quality of food may be of a lower standard. It will also cause the sea levels to rise and floods to occur more frequently, this will mean that there will be more coastal erosion, people will have to be relocated to safer areas and some areas may not be suitable to live in anymore.

Electric cars are still quite expensive and a lot of people cannot afford to buy one. With time the price of electric cars will come down as more are made and sold. The UK government will also need to ensure that there is enough electricity generated within the UK to cope with all electric cars.

We felt that people should be able to immigrate if they have skills that are in short supply in the UK, or if they are unable to live safely in their current country. We felt that immigration should be limited to people who are able to contribute to the country, such as those with skills, and we didn't feel that unskilled workers should be allowed to immigrate.

For this reason, we believe that wearing a helmet should be mandatory and enforced, so that all cyclists are afforded this level of protection and also so that the NHS does not have to spend huge amounts of resources treating cyclists with head injuries. A good analogy is to compare it with wearing a seatbelt when driving.

I would also like to know if the clothes were being made in the UK as it would greatly help our clothing industry and the UK economy.

If more people vote for smaller parties that share their views, then this would force larger parties to consider their policies more carefully. In summary, although it is true that the current system is not always entirely fair, it is also true that this is under the control of the public - who ca",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

Healthcare is a public good. By collecting taxes, the government is ensuring that everyone is treated equally. The NHS is one of the best free healthcare providers in the world. It is a right for all individuals in a modern society. However, the NHS is not totally free as it is funded by taxes, which is the correct thing to do. As long as the taxes are collected proportionately and not just from those who use the NHS, it is a very fair system.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,30,Should there be term limits for elected officials?,"In general, the idea of term limits for elected officials makes a lot of sense and would create a more democratic society. This would be particularly beneficial in less democratic nations as this would allow for a greater turnover of government officials and would result in less corruption as power is less concentrated. However, it is also important to consider the situation in individual nations. In a developed democracy such as the UK, term limits would be less beneficial as this would remove some of the accountability that politicians currently face.

This is because the health of the population is important and sugary drinks are a factor that contributes to poor health. The cost of obesity to the NHS is £6billion per year and if it can be reduced by reducing the amount of sugar in drinks then it would benefit the population as a whole. This is because the obesity rate in the UK is one of the highest in the world and soft drinks are a big contributor to this.

Forcing people to stay in a relationship would be like forcing them to be in a contract with someone they don't want to be in a contract with.

This would apply to everyone, regardless of age, occupation or nationality. The government would have the power to reduce this maximum wage, if economic circumstances required this to be done, but it could not be raised by anyone except Parliament.

Although all group members recognised that a good education should be available to everyone and that students should contribute to the cost of their education, the group thought that interest rates on student loans should be kept as low as possible. The group felt that it was unfair to penalise those who have been educated, and also penalise their families, by requiring them to pay back more than the original loan.

This would mean the government should invest in creating a voting system that would ensure votes are cast by the right people and no one can vote more than once. This would be an expensive process, but it would increase voter turnout and allow people to vote from the comfort of their own home.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,6,Is the Universal Basic Income a good idea?,"Universal Basic Income is a good idea. It will reduce the economic precarity of the lower classes and reduce their reliance on exploitative employers. It will allow people to pursue their passions in life and allow for the flourishing of the arts. It is not a replacement for work, but rather a way of improving the quality of life for all people. Reduced poverty leads to less crime, and less pressure on the healthcare systems.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

This is because antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria, not viruses. Cold viruses will not be killed by antibiotics, and the drugs will have no effect on the virus. Taking antibiotics when you do not need them is a waste of money, and could lead to the development of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria that live in your body. If you do take antibiotics when you do not need them, this can have harmful side effects. Taking antibiotics can also change the balance of bacteria in your gut, which can lead to diarrhoea. Antibiotics can also interact with other drugs you are taking, so it is important to read the patient information l",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

The public should have the trust in the food they buy, whether that be material or ready meals. There should be clarity and accountability in the food industry. The regulations should be maintained at a high standard. The food industry is already heavily regulated, but there is always room for improvement. The public's health is very important and should be protected from illness. The food industry should be held responsible for what they sell to the public.

We feel that the current system of capitalism is focused on making as much money as possible and does not consider the environment and its impact, nor the cost of living crisis and the impact that high prices have on people.

It should be introduced at a low rate initially and gradually increased over time. The rate should be set at a level where it does not discourage people from saving but will still raise revenue. The group agreed that the wealth tax should be applied to the top 1% of wealthiest people in the UK. The group also agreed that a wealth tax would be easier to implement and more likely to be accepted if it was done in a gradual manner over a period of time. The group did not agree that the tax should be introduced at a high rate from the outset.,MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

The production of plastic bags creates a lot of pollution, and they take hundreds of years to degrade. They are a major contributor to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is the largest accumulation of plastic in the world, and they also kill many animals.

More needs to be spent on training more doctors and nurses, and improving infrastructure.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,54,Should we ban the use of animals in circuses?,There should be a ban on the use of animals in circuses. It is a form of entertainment which is outdated and the animals are forced to perform abnormal behaviours in an unnatural environment. They become stressed by the crowds and noise and suffer from anxiety. They are taken from their natural environment which would be a traumatic event in itself. They are transported from town to town in trucks which are totally unsuitable for the animals and this itself would cause more anxiety.,MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

However, we all need to take action together across the planet because some countries have a lot bigger influence than others on climate change, e.g. China.

If animals are to be used in scientific research, it should be for reasons that will benefit all of humanity and not just a small portion of it. Animals should only be used if it is absolutely necessary and if there is no other alternative. It is also important to note that not all animals are equal in terms of their intelligence and capacity for suffering. As such, the extent of the research that can be carried out on them will differ.

The age for driving, drinking alcohol and voting is 18 and we do not want to create inconsistencies.

This would apply to cannabis, heroin, LSD, and ecstasy. However, we also recognise that the world is changing and that attitudes to drugs are changing. In some countries cannabis is legal and we think that this is a good thing. We also think that it is possible that some of the drugs listed above may have medical benefits in the future.

A Prime Minister is chosen by the people, and is the leader of the party with the most votes. This means that they have the support of the people and will do what they can to keep them happy. A President is chosen by a select group of people, and so may not have the support of the majority. This means that they may not be able to get the laws passed that they want to, and this can lead to problems.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,40,Should we ban the use of plastic in disposable containers?,There should be a ban on the use of plastic in disposable containers. This is good for the environment as plastic takes a very long time to degrade and has limited recyclability. However the difficulty arises in that plastic containers are cheap to manufacture and deliver. If they are to be banned then companies will need to use more expensive environmentally friendly options such as foil or paper.

It is important to remember that driving is a skill that requires full concentration and anything that takes the drivers attention away from the road is dangerous.

The minimum age for voting has been 18 for a long time and there is no evidence to suggest that the votes of those under the age of 21 are any less considered, or valid than those 21 and over. Raising the voting age would needlessly disenfranchise those voters, which is not a direction we should be heading in, as a country.

The reasons for this are as follows: The vast majority of children are not mature enough to make such an important decision as to whether they want to continue in education or start working. 16 years old is very young and many children will leave school and go into the job market without fully understanding what they are getting themselves into. It is very likely that at 16 years old, a child is not mature enough to make such a decision and will not have the life experience to be able to make a sound decision.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

The group of participants believe that social media companies have a responsibility to their users to provide a safe online environment.

This is because some politicians will have connections to richer people, and will be able to raise more money than other politicians. This will give them a better chance of winning the election, and will mean that the government will be made up of people who appeal to richer citizens rather than everyone.

The King is not elected by anyone and thus has no mandate from the people to have a say in who is Prime Minister. The King is a figurehead and a tourist attraction, nothing more.

This seems like a ridiculous waste of resources. Surely it would make more sense to put more money into education to help people make more educated choices. In a cost of living crisis it seems so cruel to tax people on treats. Instead, we need to make healthy foods cheaper and more attractive and we need better education so that people choose healthier foods. Taxes are not the best way to change behaviour and improve the health of our nation. We need to focus on health and wellbeing and promote active lifestyles.",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,

They are most commonly made from plastic which not only produce carbon in their manufacture, but when they are not recycled their disposal causes plastic to enter the environment. Many studies have shown the shocking amount of plastic in the environment which can be consumed by animals resulting in the build-up of microplastics in the food chain which can harm many species, including humans. There are plenty of ways to store food in reusable containers that makes the single-use ones unnecessary.

While we do not necessarily need to aim for complete decarbonisation right now, we should reduce carbon emissions as much as possible where we can, as the more carbon emissions that we can avoid, the better. This is because carbon emissions will inevitably lead to global warming, which could be disastrous for the environment and planet.

In order for businesses to thrive and for countries to remain economically viable, it is essential that all companies pay the taxes that they owe, which is the case with the current level of tax that is charged on companies. Lowering the level of taxation on corporations will only serve to damage the economy and society as a whole, as companies will feel less need to return to the country from which they originate.

The group agreed that there is a difference in physicality between the sexes, but that with the right training and hard work, women can perform just as well as men in most roles.

habermas_machine,round_survey_responses,mediator_statement,38,Should we raise the minimum wage in the UK?,“I believe that we should raise the minimum wage in the UK. I think that the current minimum wage is too low to be practical in today’s society. The cost of living has risen too much resulting in a lower standard of living and no longer incentivises work. Many people do not get what they need to live decently. The current minimum wage is too low compared to CPI and inflation. This could also prevent industrial actions in the future. This could provide a much needed boost to the economy as people now have less disposable income and many businesses have suffered as a result.

It is a well-established organisation that provides a wide variety of programmes for the public. As a relatively free to air service, the BBC is accessible to most people and has a fairly big audience, which means it is an important information outlet. It can be relied on to report the news without bias and balances its debate accordingly. However, the BBC is not a perfect organisation and it is not beyond reproach.

Firstly, we must not underestimate the value of the human life and with adequate precautions and safety measures put in place to ensure the survival of humans, the consequences of a meltdown can be mitigated. In the current energy crisis, nuclear energy can be a significant power source, a clean and efficient source of energy which would be highly beneficial.

The minimum wage should be the same for all industries, with no exceptions. There is no need to make more jobs available, as we are already at full employment.

It is arguable whether there should be more flexibility in the set level of the wage in relation to the cost of living in a certain area, however, in practice this would be very difficult to implement and so it is better to maintain a fixed minimum wage set at £10 across the country. Although a very important factor to consider, it is not just the cost of living that decides whether someone can live off of a certain salary, there is also the important factor of experience, skills, number of hours worked etc. It is also worth mentioning that there is a need for work in charity and other factors such as encouraging community, and that this does no",MODEL_MEDIATOR,,
