Very strongly agree

Yes, and with proportional representation

This answer aligns closely with the SSP's values of democracy, representation, and fairness. The inclusion of proportional representation is particularly in line with their socialist principles, aiming for a more equitable and representative political system.

Strongly agree

Abolish the House of Lords

The SSP's radical approach to politics and emphasis on significant structural change suggests they might support the abolition of the House of Lords as part of a broader agenda of democratic reform. However, their specific policy positions focus more on Scottish independence and socialism than on the detailed mechanics of UK constitutional reform.

Agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) supports democratic reforms and has historically advocated for more democratic institutions, which aligns with the idea of an elected House of Lords. However, their primary focus is on Scottish independence and socialism, not specifically on the reform of UK-wide institutions.

Disagree

No, but remove hereditary peers and bishops

Removing hereditary peers and bishops might be seen as a step in the right direction by the SSP, but it does not go far enough in addressing the fundamental issue of the lack of democracy and representation in the House of Lords.

Strongly disagree

No, appointed members provide stability and progress instead of political deadlock

While the SSP might recognize the theoretical argument that appointed members can provide stability, their strong emphasis on democratic principles and representation likely means they would disagree with this justification for an unelected House of Lords.

Very strongly disagree

No

The SSP's commitment to democracy and representation would make them strongly disagree with maintaining the current unelected status of the House of Lords, as it contradicts their principles of democratic accountability and representation.
