Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The call to abolish the police would be fundamentally at odds with the Social Democratic Party's approach to governance, which typically involves reforming institutions to make them more equitable and just, rather than dismantling them entirely. This position is too extreme for the party's moderate stance on law and order.
