Agree

Yes, this will help reduce wealth inequality in the UK

The SDP's commitment to reducing wealth inequality aligns with the rationale behind implementing a mansion tax to redistribute wealth. This policy could be seen as a direct method to address economic disparities, which is in line with social democratic principles.

Agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the UK, while not as left-leaning as some other parties, generally supports policies that aim to reduce inequality and could see a mansion tax as a tool to achieve this. However, their centrist stance means they might prefer more moderate approaches over highly progressive taxation.

Slightly agree

No, but implement the tax on foreign owned property

While the SDP might support measures to address the housing crisis and foreign investment in the UK housing market, their approach would likely be more comprehensive than targeting only foreign-owned properties. They might view such a specific tax as too narrow or potentially xenophobic, preferring broader solutions to housing and tax reform.

Disagree

No

Given their centrist and social democratic leanings, the SDP is unlikely to strongly oppose progressive taxation measures like a mansion tax, but they might have concerns about the impact on middle-class homeowners who could be affected by such a broad policy.
