Protectionism

Very strongly agree

No

Given that protectionism is an ideology that supports government intervention in the economy to protect domestic industries from foreign competition, it inherently supports the idea of government playing a strong role in regulating various aspects of society, including public safety. Traffic laws are a form of regulation designed to protect the public from accidents and injuries on the roads. A protectionist ideology would likely support the maintenance of such laws as a means of ensuring the safety and well-being of the population, which aligns with the broader goal of protecting the domestic interests. There is no historical precedent within protectionist policies that suggests a support for the elimination of regulations that are designed to protect public safety.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Protectionism as an ideology primarily focuses on economic policies, particularly those that restrict imports from other countries to protect domestic industries. However, the principles of protectionism emphasize the role of government in regulating and protecting the domestic economy and, by extension, the welfare of its citizens. Eliminating all traffic laws and relying on voluntary compliance would likely be seen as an abdication of the government's responsibility to protect its citizens from harm and ensure public safety. Historically, protectionist policies have been about increasing government intervention in the economy, not reducing it, which suggests a preference for maintaining or even increasing regulations in other areas, such as public safety, to protect the well-being of the populace.
