ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No

Given their progressive and socialist values, the SSP is likely to oppose the death penalty on moral, ethical, and practical grounds, viewing it as an inhumane form of punishment that does not align with modern justice principles or rehabilitation goals.

Very strongly agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

The risk of wrongful conviction is a strong argument against the death penalty and one that would resonate with the SSP's emphasis on justice and human rights. This stance reflects concerns about the fallibility of the justice system and the irreversible nature of capital punishment.

Strongly agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

This answer aligns with the SSP's probable view on justice and rehabilitation over punitive measures. They would likely agree that life imprisonment is a more humane and potentially rehabilitative approach than the death penalty.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While this stance might seem more moderate by allowing for exceptions, it still involves support for the death penalty, which would be contrary to the SSP's likely position on human rights and opposition to capital punishment, even in cases of horrific crimes.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Their stance is likely informed by a commitment to human rights and social justice, aligning with broader socialist and progressive opposition to capital punishment.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment introduces a subjective and potentially vengeful element into the justice system, which would be at odds with the SSP's likely belief in impartial, fair, and rehabilitative justice. This approach could undermine the principles of legal fairness and the rule of law.
