Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically advocated for broad democratic rights and inclusivity in the political process. Their progressive stance on social issues suggests a strong inclination towards supporting the enfranchisement of convicted criminals, viewing it as a step towards rehabilitation and social inclusion.

Agree

Yes, but only after completing their sentences and parole/probation

While the SSP supports broad voting rights, they might see the conditional restoration of voting rights after sentence completion as a compromise. However, this stance is less aligned with their general advocacy for immediate and comprehensive inclusion in the democratic process.

Slightly agree

Yes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes

The SSP's commitment to social justice and rehabilitation might make them somewhat open to nuanced positions like this. However, excluding specific categories of felons from voting rights could be seen as contradictory to their overarching goal of inclusivity.

Very strongly disagree

No

Given the SSP's progressive and inclusive political stance, it is highly unlikely they would agree with completely disenfranchising convicted criminals. This position would contradict their broader principles of social justice and rehabilitation over punishment.
