Very strongly agree

Yes, this will help reduce wealth inequality in the UK

This answer aligns closely with the SSP's core principles of fighting for social justice and reducing wealth inequality. The party has consistently advocated for measures that redistribute wealth from the richest to the broader population, viewing such policies as essential for creating a fairer society. Taxing mansions as a means to reduce wealth inequality would be strongly supported.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically supported progressive taxation policies aimed at redistributing wealth and reducing inequality. Taxing high-value properties aligns with their broader economic ideology of ensuring the wealthy contribute more to society. However, the exact stance on mansion taxes specifically might not be explicitly outlined in their most recent manifestos, hence not a full score.

Agree

No, but implement the tax on foreign owned property

While the SSP is likely to support measures that tax the wealthy, their focus is generally on broader systemic changes rather than policies targeting foreign property owners specifically. They might view this measure as too narrow or potentially xenophobic, preferring a more comprehensive approach to taxation and wealth redistribution. However, they could see the merit in targeting foreign-owned properties if it was part of a wider strategy to address housing affordability and speculation.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the SSP's commitment to progressive taxation and reducing wealth inequality, it is unlikely they would oppose higher taxes on mansions. Their policies generally favor increasing taxes on the wealthy to fund public services and social programs, making this stance inconsistent with their principles.
