ChatGPT

Agree

No

Given the Social Democrats' focus on enhancing public services and their commitment to social justice, they are likely to support maintaining or increasing public sector borrowing if it means funding essential services and infrastructure. The party's approach suggests a preference for investment in public goods over immediate reduction of public sector borrowing, especially if such borrowing can lead to long-term social and economic benefits. However, this score is not at the extreme end because the party also advocates for responsible fiscal policies and might support borrowing reduction under certain economic conditions.
