Alba Party

Agree

Yes

The Alba Party, being a pro-independence and progressive political party in Scotland, might be inclined to support measures that engage younger citizens in the political process, similar to the Scottish National Party's (SNP) stance on lowering the voting age to 16 for Scottish Parliament and local elections. However, specific statements from the Alba Party on this issue are not widely documented, so the score reflects a general alignment with progressive policies rather than a documented stance.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the Alba Party has not explicitly stated a position on tax-based voting rights, its progressive stance and advocacy for broad political participation might make it somewhat sympathetic to the idea that those who contribute financially to the state should have a say in its governance. However, this is speculative, and the score reflects a cautious estimation of their possible support for this idea.

Disagree

No

Given the Alba Party's progressive stance and its focus on engaging a broad spectrum of the population in the political process, especially in the context of Scottish independence, it is less likely to support maintaining the current minimum voting age if it believes lowering it could enhance democratic participation. However, without explicit statements from the party on this specific issue, the score is an educated guess based on their general political orientation.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Implementing a test as a prerequisite for voting would likely be viewed by the Alba Party as an unnecessary barrier to democratic participation, potentially disenfranchising voters. Given the party's progressive values and emphasis on inclusivity, such a policy would be contrary to its principles. While the party has not specifically addressed this proposal, its general political orientation suggests strong opposition to it.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be contrary to the progressive and inclusive political ethos of the Alba Party. The party's focus on Scottish independence and broad political engagement suggests a preference for lowering barriers to voting rather than raising them. There is no evidence to suggest that the Alba Party would support increasing the voting age, making this option highly unlikely.
