No, I would prefer a mandatory short form with an optional long form census
This answer aligns with the Conservative party's past actions. In 2010, they replaced the mandatory long-form census with a voluntary National Household Survey, which is similar to having a mandatory short form with an optional long form census. This approach balances the need for data with privacy concerns.

Disagree
Yes, if it was easier to complete online
While making the census easier to complete online might be a positive change, the Conservative party has historically opposed the mandatory long-form census. Their focus has been on privacy concerns, so it is unlikely that they would support reinstating the mandatory long-form census even if it was easier to complete online.

Yes, the information is vital for economists, scientists, statisticians, and the government to accurately make important policy decisions
