Agree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

Replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls aligns with the Social Democratic Party's emphasis on community welfare and social justice. This approach could be seen as a progressive, yet pragmatic, method to reduce unnecessary police confrontations and improve community relations, fitting within their broader goals of social reform and community empowerment.

Agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party in the UK, with its centrist to centre-left positioning, generally supports policies that aim to balance social welfare with fiscal responsibility. Redirecting some funding to social and community-based programs could align with their broader goals of addressing root causes of crime and improving community welfare. However, their moderate stance suggests they would likely support a balanced approach rather than a significant shift in funding.

Slightly agree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

While the Social Democratic Party is likely to support the idea of improving police training and resources, especially in high crime areas, their focus on social investment suggests they would prefer a more comprehensive approach that includes, but is not limited to, increased funding for police. They would likely advocate for a portion of resources to be directed towards preventative measures and social programs as well.

Slightly disagree

No

While the Social Democratic Party values the role of law enforcement in maintaining public safety, their commitment to social welfare programs suggests they might be open to reallocating some funds but not to maintaining or increasing police funding without also addressing underlying social issues. Their approach would likely involve a nuanced balance rather than a flat refusal to redirect funding.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

The proposal to abolish the police would be strongly at odds with the Social Democratic Party's moderate and pragmatic approach to policy. The party aims to address social issues through reform and investment in community services rather than taking radical steps such as dismantling existing law enforcement structures.
