Strongly agree

Agree

No

The SDP might agree with this stance to a significant extent, as it aligns with a more traditional view of national sovereignty and citizenship. Voting rights could be seen as a privilege of citizenship, reflecting a commitment to the nation's laws, culture, and community.

Agree

Yes, but only after living in the country for 5 years

The SDP might view a 5-year residency requirement as a reasonable balance between allowing integration and ensuring that voters have a substantial connection to the UK and its values, reflecting a moderate stance on immigration and civic participation.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only after living in the country for 10 years

A 10-year residency requirement might be seen by the SDP as ensuring a deep commitment to the UK, aligning with a cautious approach to granting voting rights. However, this stance might be considered too restrictive by some within the party, reflecting a balance between integration and national identity.

Slightly agree

Yes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

This position might resonate with the SDP's centrist values, acknowledging the contribution of tax-paying residents to the UK economy and society. However, the party might still prefer certain restrictions or qualifications beyond tax status alone.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote in local elections

While the SDP may see the value in allowing foreigners to engage in local governance, they might prefer a more comprehensive approach to voting rights that includes both local and national elections, under certain conditions.

Disagree

Yes, but they should not be allowed to vote in local elections

While the SDP may support some level of integration for foreigners, completely barring them from local elections might not align with their views on community integration and the importance of local governance in reflecting the needs of all residents.

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are European Union citizens

Given the SDP's centrist to centre-right positioning and the UK's complex relationship with the EU, especially post-Brexit, the party might not support a policy that privileges EU citizens over other foreign residents, seeking a more uniform approach to civic rights.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The SDP Party, being a centrist to centre-right political entity, likely prioritizes national sovereignty and the interests of its citizens first.
