Agree

More

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the UK, being a centrist party, might support moderate increases in restrictions on welfare benefits to ensure sustainability and efficiency, but not to the extent of significantly reducing support for those in need.

Agree

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

Ensuring benefits go to those most in need aligns with the SDP's principles of fairness and efficiency in welfare provision, though their centrist approach might temper the extent of reducing restrictions.

Neutral

No changes needed

The SDP's position on maintaining current welfare levels would depend on their assessment of the system's effectiveness and sustainability, making their stance on this nuanced and likely neutral without specific policy context.

Slightly disagree

Fewer

While the SDP aims to support those in need, their centrist approach means they are likely to advocate for balanced measures rather than broadly reducing restrictions on current welfare benefits.

Disagree

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support

Given their centrist stance, the SDP is likely to seek a balance between providing adequate support and encouraging self-sufficiency, thus might not fully agree with significantly increasing welfare benefits without corresponding reforms.

Disagree

More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Denying benefits to immigrants would conflict with the SDP's more inclusive and moderate political stance, as they are likely to support policies that integrate rather than exclude, even within a reformed welfare system.
