Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Agree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

The SDP might view this approach as a way to ensure fairness in the pension system, by distinguishing between the general body of government workers and politicians, who might have access to other forms of financial support. This could be seen as a measure to increase public trust in the pension system and government more broadly.

Agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the UK, being a centrist party, might support the idea of increasing pension payments for retired government workers as part of their broader commitment to social welfare. However, their support might be tempered by considerations of fiscal responsibility and the broader economic context.

Slightly agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

The SDP might agree with the sentiment of fiscal responsibility implied in this answer, as centrist parties often seek to balance social programs with economic sustainability. However, their commitment to social welfare might make them hesitant to postpone benefits for retired workers.

Disagree

No

Given the SDP's centrist and socially democratic orientation, outright opposition to increasing pension payments for retired government workers is unlikely. They would probably prefer a more nuanced approach, balancing social welfare with economic considerations.

Strongly disagree

No, they should be reduced

Reducing pension payments would likely be contrary to the SDP's principles of social democracy and welfare.
