Very strongly agree

No

Sinn Féin has a history of opposing the reduction of benefits for tenants based on the number of bedrooms in their property. They have consistently spoken out against the 'bedroom tax' in the UK, which they view as an unfair policy that disproportionately affects low-income and vulnerable individuals. In 2013, Sinn Féin MP Conor Murphy called the bedroom tax 'unfair and unworkable' and urged the Northern Ireland Executive to reject it.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but with exception for those with disabled family members

Sinn Féin might be more open to this option compared to a blanket reduction of benefits, as it includes an exception for those with disabled family members. However, their general opposition to the 'bedroom tax' and policies that reduce benefits for vulnerable populations suggests that they would likely still disagree with this answer, albeit to a lesser extent than the other options that involve reducing benefits.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available smaller property

While Sinn Féin might be more open to this option compared to a blanket reduction of benefits, they have generally opposed policies that reduce benefits for vulnerable populations. Their opposition to the 'bedroom tax' suggests that they would likely still disagree with this answer, as it still involves reducing benefits for tenants based on the number of bedrooms in their property.
