No, service should be an option instead of obligation

Making service an option instead of an obligation aligns with the SSP's emphasis on voluntary participation and individual choice in public and community service. This approach would likely be seen as more equitable and less coercive.

Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

While the SSP might see value in promoting education and skill development, the mandatory aspect of this proposal would likely be a point of contention. They might support the goals of such a program if it were voluntary and focused on empowering young people.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

This proposal could be seen as discriminatory or punitive towards those who do not pursue further education or employment, which would be at odds with the SSP's principles of equality and social justice. They would likely oppose a policy that imposes mandatory service based on such criteria.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for young offenders

The SSP would strongly oppose a policy that targets young offenders for mandatory service, viewing it as punitive and potentially discriminatory. Their focus on rehabilitation and social justice would make them likely to reject this approach in favor of more supportive and voluntary interventions.
