Agree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is known for its progressive stance on social issues, including homelessness. While they might not fully endorse allowing individuals to sleep or encamp on public property without restrictions, they are likely to support a compassionate approach towards the homeless. The SSP's emphasis on social welfare and housing as a human right suggests a degree of agreement with the idea that homeless individuals should not be criminalized for their situation.

Disagree

No

Given the SSP's strong advocacy for social housing and welfare, they would likely disagree with outright banning homeless individuals from sleeping or encamping on public property without offering substantial support and alternatives. The party's platform typically emphasizes addressing the root causes of homelessness, such as poverty and lack of affordable housing, rather than punitive measures.

Very strongly disagree

No, and make it a criminal offense

Making it a criminal offense for homeless individuals to sleep or encamp on public property would be antithetical to the Scottish Socialist Party's principles. The SSP has historically opposed criminalizing poverty and homelessness, advocating instead for increased investment in social services, affordable housing, and support systems to address these issues at their root.
