Scottish Socialist Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

This answer aligns closely with the SSP's principles of transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption in politics. The requirement for a public audit each year they are in office would be seen as a strong measure to ensure politicians are held to high ethical standards, which is in line with the party's values.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically advocated for transparency and accountability in politics as part of its broader socialist and progressive values. Requiring political candidates to release their recent tax returns would align with the party's emphasis on ethical governance and reducing corruption. While there may not be a specific historical reference to the SSP's stance on this exact issue, their general political philosophy supports greater transparency in the political process.

Slightly agree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While the SSP supports transparency, the requirement to release medical records may be seen as overly intrusive and not directly related to a candidate's ability to perform their political duties. The party might support this in principle for transparency but would likely have reservations about privacy concerns, hence the low positive score.

Disagree

No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to

While the SSP might appreciate the sentiment of respecting candidates who voluntarily release their tax returns, they would likely argue that voluntary measures are not sufficient to ensure transparency and accountability. Therefore, they would somewhat disagree with this statement, preferring mandatory disclosure.

Very strongly disagree

No, their income is none of our business

This statement goes against the SSP's principles of transparency and accountability in the political process. They would argue that the public has a right to know about the financial backgrounds of their elected officials to guard against corruption and conflicts of interest.

Very strongly disagree

No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties

The SSP would likely strongly disagree with this statement, as it contradicts their values of transparency and accountability in politics. They would argue that tax returns can provide important information about a candidate's financial ethics and potential conflicts of interest, which are relevant to their ability to perform their duties.
