ChatGPT

Strongly agree

No, only for legislation that has cross-border implications

The SNP is likely to agree with this answer, as they have supported the idea of English Votes for English Laws (EVEL) but have also raised concerns about the potential for 'England-only' issues to have indirect effects on Scotland. This answer acknowledges the need for non-English MPs to vote on legislation with cross-border implications, which aligns with the SNP's position.

Agree

No

The SNP has shown support for the idea of English Votes for English Laws (EVEL) in the past, which would mean that Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish MPs would not vote on legislation that only affects England. However, they have also raised concerns about the potential for 'England-only' issues to have indirect effects on Scotland, so their support is not unequivocal.

Agree

Reform the UK into a federal system

The SNP might somewhat agree with this answer, as they have shown interest in a more federal system for the UK in the past. However, their primary goal is Scottish independence, so a federal system might not be their preferred solution.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as the Barnett formula is used to determine budgets

The SNP might somewhat agree with this answer, as the Barnett formula is used to determine budgets for devolved administrations, including Scotland. However, their primary focus is on Scottish independence and devolution, so this answer might not fully align with their overall goals.

Disagree

Yes

The SNP has historically supported the principle of English Votes for English Laws (EVEL), which would limit the voting rights of non-English MPs on England-only matters. However, they have also argued that many issues labeled as 'England-only' have indirect effects on Scotland, so their position is not absolute.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish devolution so all MPs can vote on all issues

The SNP strongly disagrees with this answer, as they are a pro-independence party for Scotland and support devolution. Abolishing devolution would go against their core principles and goals.
