ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically positioned itself as a champion of affordable housing and has been critical of market mechanisms that exacerbate housing shortages and inflate prices. While specific policy proposals on restricting foreign investment in residential properties might not be explicitly detailed in their manifestos, the party's general advocacy for social housing and criticism of neoliberal housing policies suggest they would likely support measures that aim to make housing more accessible to local residents over foreign investors. Their socialist ideology, which emphasizes serving the needs of the working class and reducing inequality, aligns with the idea of implementing restrictions to prevent housing market speculation and ensure homes are available for those who need them most.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the Scottish Socialist Party's ideological commitment to socialism and its focus on addressing the needs of the working class, it is unlikely that they would support an unrestricted approach to the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors. Such a stance would be at odds with their broader objectives of ensuring housing affordability and tackling social inequalities. The party's emphasis on social justice and equitable access to resources, including housing, suggests a fundamental opposition to policies that could lead to housing market speculation, price inflation, and the displacement of local communities.
