Strongly agree

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

The SDP might support increasing funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation as it aligns with a compassionate, yet conservative approach to handling drug addiction without endorsing decriminalization.

Agree

No

Given their more traditional stance on social issues, it is likely that the SDP would prefer maintaining the current legal framework around drug use rather than decriminalizing it.

Agree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

The SDP's emphasis on traditional values and law and order could logically extend to a support for increasing punishment for drug dealers as a deterrent against drug-related crimes.

Agree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Slightly agree

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

While the SDP has not explicitly stated a position on decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, their more traditional policy approach might allow for some openness to evidence-based exceptions such as medicinal marijuana, albeit cautiously.

Disagree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

There is limited information on the SDP's specific stance on decriminalizing most but not all drugs, but their overall conservative outlook suggests a cautious approach to any form of decriminalization.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The SDP (Social Democratic Party) in the UK tends to hold more traditional views on law and order, including drug policy. There is no significant evidence to suggest that they support the broad decriminalization of drug use.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

The SDP's conservative approach to social policy suggests they would be unlikely to support retroactively reducing sentences for drug offenses, as this would imply a shift towards decriminalization.
