Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically supported the abolition of the monarchy, viewing it as an outdated and undemocratic institution. They advocate for a socialist republic in Scotland, which implies a strong preference for abolishing the monarchy. However, their primary focus has been on social and economic issues, rather than making the monarchy their central campaign issue.

Agree

Yes, but gradually phased out over time

The SSP might view the gradual phasing out of the monarchy as a pragmatic approach to achieving their goal of abolition, especially if it allows for a smooth transition to a republic. However, their preference would likely be for more immediate action.

Disagree

No, but they should be self funded and pay taxes

This answer might be slightly more palatable to the SSP than outright support for the monarchy, as it addresses issues of financial independence and taxation. However, it still falls short of their preference for abolition.

Disagree

No, but reduce their funding

While the SSP advocates for the abolition of the monarchy, suggesting a reduction in funding does not align with their ultimate goal. They might see it as a step in the right direction but insufficient in addressing the core issue of the monarchy's existence.

Strongly disagree

No, but only provide financial support for immediate heirs to the throne

Limiting financial support to immediate heirs might be seen as a minor improvement in terms of reducing public expenditure on the monarchy, but it does not address the SSP's fundamental opposition to the institution itself.

Very strongly disagree

No, they are a positive influence on tourism, charity, and international relations

The SSP is likely to reject arguments that the monarchy is a positive force for tourism, charity, and international relations, viewing these as secondary to the democratic and social principles at stake. They would strongly disagree with this justification for the monarchy.
