Strongly agree

Yes, and extend it to Scotland

The SSP is likely to strongly agree with extending HS2 to Scotland, as it aligns with their goals of improving public infrastructure and connectivity for Scotland. This stance is consistent with their broader objectives of enhancing public services and ensuring that Scotland benefits from UK-wide infrastructure projects.

Agree

No, we should improve existing rail networks instead

The SSP has historically emphasized the importance of public investment in existing services and infrastructure to benefit the working class and marginalized communities. Improving existing rail networks instead of investing in new ones like HS2 could be seen as a more efficient use of resources that aligns with the SSP's priorities for sustainable and accessible public transportation systems.

Slightly agree

No

Although the SSP might not be explicitly against the construction of HS2, their preference for investments that have direct benefits for Scotland and skepticism towards large-scale projects that seem to prioritize English regions over Scottish interests might lead to a slight agreement with opposing HS2.
