ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, only 7% of households in the UK have access to full-fiber broadband

The SSP is likely to strongly agree with this statement as it highlights a significant inequality in access to broadband, which is increasingly considered a necessity. The party's platform, focused on addressing social inequalities and promoting public ownership of essential services, would support the expansion of broadband infrastructure to reach underserved areas. This aligns with their broader goals of ensuring equal access to services and reducing disparities.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically supported policies that aim to reduce inequality and increase access to essential services. Providing free broadband to all UK homes and businesses aligns with their broader socialist principles of ensuring that everyone has access to basic utilities and services. While the SSP may not have explicitly stated this policy, their general stance on public ownership and services suggests strong support.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the SSP's commitment to expanding public services and reducing inequality, it is unlikely they would oppose a policy aimed at providing free broadband to all. Their socialist ideology typically favors government intervention to ensure equitable access to essential services, making it improbable they would disagree with this proposal.

Very strongly disagree

No, this will cost the government over £50bn

The Scottish Socialist Party, with its focus on public investment in essential services, would likely view the cost as a necessary investment in infrastructure that benefits the public and the economy in the long term. They typically prioritize social benefits over cost concerns, especially when it comes to providing universal access to what they consider essential services. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with the argument against free broadband based solely on its cost.
