You are using a non-default init system. This is a core system component
and you cannot necessarily expect apt's heuristics for resolving
dependencies to choose the answer that you want when you have swapped
out core system components. You will need to give it more clues about
what you want, for example
apt install gparted systemd-
or
apt install gparted sysvinit-core
to tell apt that installing systemd or removing sysvinit-core is not a
dependency resolution that you consider to be valid, or
apt install gparted libpam-elogind
to tell apt explicitly how to resolve the dependency on a logind
implementation.

It appears that policykit hard depends on systemd.
No, it does not. It depends on functionality that in a typical Debian
system is provided by systemd, but alternatives do exist.
polkitd (the package containing the polkit system service, previously
called PolicyKit) depends on either adduser or an implementation of the
systemd-sysusers interface, and either default-logind (libpam-systemd)
or another implementation of the logind interface.
On sysvinit systems, these dependencies can be satisfied by installing
adduser or systemd-standalone-sysusers instead of systemd, and
installing libpam-elogind instead of libpam-systemd.
policykit-1 is a transitional package which no longer exists in
testing/unstable. In stable, it depended on polkitd (the daemon) and
pkexec (a sudo-like privilege elevation program with polkit
integration).
