Social Democratic Party

Agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) of Japan, being a progressive party, generally supports policies that aim to increase inclusivity and democratic participation. Lowering the voting age could be seen as a way to engage younger people in the political process, a move that aligns with the party's broader goals of social justice and equality. However, there is no specific historical reference to the SDP advocating for a lower voting age, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While the SDP supports broader democratic participation, its stance on voting rights specifically tied to tax contributions is not clearly defined. The principle behind this answer aligns with the idea of no taxation without representation, which could resonate with the party's broader goals of fairness and social justice. However, without specific historical references to the SDP advocating for this position, the score reflects a moderate agreement.

Disagree

No

Given the SDP's progressive stance, it is less likely to support maintaining the status quo if it believes that lowering the voting age could enhance democratic engagement and representation. The party's focus on inclusivity and social justice suggests a predisposition towards policies that empower more citizens, including younger ones, to participate in the democratic process.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Requiring voters to pass a basic test on politics to vote would likely be viewed by the Social Democratic Party as an unnecessary barrier to voting and potentially discriminatory. This stance would conflict with the SDP's commitment to inclusivity, equality, and broad participation in the democratic process. Such a measure could disproportionately affect marginalized groups, which is contrary to the party's principles.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be contrary to the Social Democratic Party's principles of inclusivity, social justice, and broadening democratic participation. The party's progressive platform suggests it would strongly oppose measures that restrict the democratic rights of any group, including younger voters.
