ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, and drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses

This answer combines government intervention to keep jobs in the country with punitive measures against outsourcing, closely aligning with the SSP's economic policies and principles. The party's platform emphasizes the importance of protecting domestic jobs and industries while ensuring that the economy serves the needs of the working class and the public good. This dual approach of incentivizing domestic job retention while penalizing outsourcing would likely be strongly supported by the SSP as it encapsulates their broader economic and social goals.

Strongly agree

No, but drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses

This approach aligns closely with the SSP's advocacy for strong government action to protect domestic industries and jobs. They have historically supported measures that would penalize businesses for outsourcing jobs and have advocated for policies that protect Scottish workers and industries. Increasing taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses would be seen as a way to discourage practices that can harm the domestic economy and workers.

Agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) generally supports policies that would protect jobs and workers' rights within Scotland and the broader UK. They advocate for economic strategies that prioritize public welfare over private profit. Providing tax incentives to keep jobs within the country aligns with their broader economic philosophy of supporting the working class and ensuring economic activities benefit the majority. However, their preference for more direct government intervention in the economy might moderate their support for this approach.

Disagree

No

The SSP is unlikely to outright reject the idea of keeping jobs within the country, as their platform is heavily focused on workers' rights and economic justice. However, they might oppose a policy framed in a way that suggests a hands-off approach to economic management or one that does not include strong protections for workers' rights and conditions.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should not interfere with the free market

The SSP is fundamentally opposed to laissez-faire economic policies and the idea that the government should not interfere with the free market. Their political platform is built around the concept of democratic socialism, which advocates for significant government intervention in the economy to redistribute wealth, protect workers, and provide public services.
