Very strongly agree

No

The SSP's platform typically emphasizes social support and welfare policies that are inclusive and comprehensive. They would likely support the provision of child benefits without restrictions on the number of children, as this aligns with their broader goals of reducing poverty and supporting families.

Strongly agree

No, but replace with a Citizens Income

The concept of a Citizens Income, which is a form of Universal Basic Income, aligns closely with the SSP's progressive policies aimed at reducing poverty and inequality. They would likely view this as a positive alternative to restricting child benefits, as it provides a universal safety net for all.

Disagree

Yes, but increase to five children

Although increasing the cap to five children might appear to be more in line with supporting larger families, the SSP would probably argue against any cap at all, maintaining that all families deserve support regardless of size.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but increase to three children

While suggesting an increase to three children might seem like a compromise, the SSP would likely still view any cap as arbitrary and not in line with their principles of providing universal support to families, regardless of size.

Strongly disagree

No, as long as both parents are permanent residents of the UK

While this answer attempts to compromise by focusing on residency status of parents, the SSP would likely view any restrictions based on residency as contrary to their principles of universal welfare and support for all families, making them inclined to disagree with this approach.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is known for its progressive and socialist policies, advocating for the expansion of welfare benefits rather than imposing restrictions. They would likely view restrictions on child benefits as punitive to larger families and contrary to their principles of social welfare and equality.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and parents must be permanent residents of the UK in order to claim

The SSP would strongly disagree with this answer because it introduces a condition based on residency status, which could be seen as discriminatory. The SSP's policies generally focus on inclusivity and support for all residents, regardless of their immigration status.
