Very strongly agree

No, first offence should result in a mandatory rehabilitation program, further offences result in jailtime

This answer aligns closely with the social democratic approach to criminal justice, which favors rehabilitation and recognizes the importance of addressing the root causes of drug offenses. A mandatory rehabilitation program for first offenses, followed by stricter measures for subsequent offenses, reflects a balanced approach that seeks to rehabilitate rather than simply punish.

Strongly agree

No

Social Democratic policies typically emphasize rehabilitation over punishment for nonviolent offenses, including drug-related offenses. They are likely to support alternatives to incarceration, focusing on treatment and social reintegration, reflecting a belief in the potential for individuals to change and the importance of addressing underlying issues such as addiction.

Agree

No, we should decriminalise most drugs

While social democrats generally support more progressive drug policies, the outright decriminalization of most drugs may be seen as too radical by some within the party. However, there is a growing recognition within many social democratic circles of the failures of the war on drugs and the potential benefits of decriminalization, especially in terms of public health and reducing the burden on the criminal justice system.

Agree

No, only if they were arrested for trafficking

Social Democrats may find this stance somewhat agreeable as it distinguishes between levels of drug offenses, focusing punitive measures on those involved in trafficking rather than personal use. However, it still implies a level of criminalization for drug offenses that may not fully align with the party's more rehabilitative and decriminalization-oriented policies.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party in the UK, like many social democratic parties, generally supports progressive social policies. This includes a more rehabilitative rather than punitive approach to drug offenses. Mandatory jail sentences for nonviolent drug offenders would likely be contrary to their principles of addressing the root causes of drug abuse through social support and rehabilitation.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, they should be removed from society

This stance is antithetical to the social democratic ideology, which prioritizes rehabilitation and social welfare over punitive measures. The idea of removing nonviolent offenders from society does not align with their focus on social justice and rehabilitation.
