Agree

No

While the SNP supports investment in public services, which suggests a willingness to borrow, they also show a commitment to fiscal responsibility. Their governance in Scotland has involved managing the country's budget within the constraints of the fiscal framework agreed with the UK government. This indicates a recognition of the limits of borrowing, but with a clear priority on funding public services and investments over immediate reduction of public sector borrowing.

Disagree

Yes

The SNP (Scottish National Party) generally supports increased public spending on services such as healthcare and education, which may not align with reducing public sector borrowing. Historically, they have advocated for policies that might require increased borrowing in the short term to support public services and investment in Scotland. However, they also emphasize fiscal responsibility and have aimed to balance Scotland's budget, indicating a nuanced position.
