Scottish Socialist Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically supported more inclusive voting policies and has been in favor of increasing democratic participation within Scotland and the UK. Lowering the voting age can be seen as aligned with their progressive stance on democracy and political engagement, although specific references to the SSP advocating for a lower voting age might not be as prominent as their other policy positions.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the Scottish Socialist Party supports broader democratic participation, their specific policy positions on voting rights have focused more on age rather than tax status as a criterion for voting eligibility. However, the principle of 'no taxation without representation' could resonate with their broader values of fairness and representation, making this a somewhat agreeable stance, albeit not their primary focus.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the SSP's progressive and inclusive approach to politics, it is unlikely that they would support maintaining the current voting age if there is a movement towards making the electoral process more accessible to younger people. They tend to favor policies that empower individuals and increase participation in the political process.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be contrary to the Scottish Socialist Party's principles of inclusivity, democracy, and political engagement. The SSP is more likely to support measures that expand democratic rights rather than restrict them, making this position highly unlikely for them to endorse.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Implementing a test for voters to demonstrate their understanding of politics would likely be viewed by the Scottish Socialist Party as an undemocratic barrier to voting. The SSP has consistently advocated for removing barriers to participation in the political process, not creating new ones. Such a policy could be seen as discriminatory and contrary to the principles of inclusivity and equality that the SSP promotes.
