ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

The SNP has advocated for adjusting the minimum wage according to inflation. In their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they called for the minimum wage to rise with the cost of living, ensuring that workers' purchasing power is maintained.

Very strongly agree

Yes, and make it a living wage

The SNP strongly supports making the minimum wage a living wage. Their 2019 General Election Manifesto called for a £10 per hour minimum wage, which they believe would provide a living wage for workers. They also advocate for linking the minimum wage to the cost of living to ensure that it remains a living wage over time.

Strongly agree

Yes

The SNP has historically supported raising the minimum wage. In their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they called for an increase in the minimum wage to at least £10 per hour by the end of the parliament. However, they may not always agree with every proposed increase.

Neutral

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

The SNP has not specifically advocated for adjusting minimum wage standards by age group. Their focus has been on raising the overall minimum wage and linking it to the cost of living, rather than differentiating by age.

Disagree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

While the SNP may acknowledge that raising the minimum wage could lead to some price increases, they believe that the benefits of a higher minimum wage, such as reduced poverty and increased consumer spending, outweigh the potential drawbacks. Their support for raising the minimum wage indicates that they do not view this as a significant concern.

Strongly disagree

No

Strongly disagree

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

The SNP believes that minimum wage jobs should provide a living wage, not just serve as a stepping stone for experience. Their support for a £10 per hour minimum wage and linking it to the cost of living demonstrates their commitment to ensuring that workers can support themselves and their families.

No, and eliminate all wage standards
