[[Kiravian federalism]] reserves most matters of {{wp|social policy}} and {{wp|cultural policy}} to the provincial government, and as such the federal SRA caucus itself gives few official positions on social issues. It should be noted that there is a prevailing conservative consensus in Kiravia with regard to familiar debates surrounding human sexuality and bioëthics in many other countries, and as such these 'hot-button' issues are less politically salient.

As the SRA says little to define its social positions in its own words, perspectives from its critics may be more illustrative: Some religious figures and traditional leaders (including the [[Valosian Coscivians|King of the Valosians]]) have accused the SRA of "nurturing that Coscivian vice of [[moral compartmentalism]]", keeping immoral activities and countercultural ideas out of certain contexts and institutions, while sheltering them in others. Concrete examples cited by such critics include [[Gambling_in_Kiravia#Online_Gambling|carveouts in federal anti-gambling laws]] and some provincial SRA affiliates' latitude on issues such as pornography control and gender-neutral domestic partnerships. Many on the Kiravian Left desribe the SRA's cultural platform as enforced national-bourgeois conformity that indulges "luxury vice" while policing proletarian behaviour and ignoring the damage done to the social fabric of the working classes by liberalisation.


Since the separation of the [[Union of Democrats & Independents]], which removed many of the more latitudinarian elements from the SRA, the caucus has settled into a more thoroughly conservative ethos.
