ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

Fine Gael has shown some support for reforming the Seanad, including making it more democratic and representative. For instance, in the past, they have supported initiatives aimed at reforming the Seanad rather than abolishing it entirely, as seen in the 2013 referendum where they campaigned against the proposal to abolish the Seanad. However, their support for a wholly elected body has not been explicitly clear or strong, indicating a moderate position towards making the Seanad fully elected.

Disagree

No

While Fine Gael has not been explicitly against the idea of a wholly elected Seanad, their actions and proposals suggest a preference for a mixed approach rather than a fully elected body. Their historical stance on Seanad reform, focusing on incremental changes and improvements in representation and function, rather than a complete overhaul to a wholly elected model, reflects a cautious approach to the idea of a fully elected Seanad.
