ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports more democratic and transparent governance structures within the EU and its member states. Historically, ALDE has advocated for reforms that increase democratic legitimacy and accountability, which aligns with the idea of making legislative bodies more directly elected by the populace. However, the specific context of the Seanad (the upper house of the Irish Parliament) and Ireland's unique political landscape might temper their stance, as ALDE also respects national sovereignty and the diversity of political systems within the EU.

Disagree

No

While the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) respects the autonomy of member states to organize their own political systems, their general ideology leans towards enhancing democratic processes and making governance structures more accountable to the public. This ideological stance makes them less likely to strongly support a non-elected body. However, given that ALDE's primary focus is on European-level issues rather than specific national reforms, their disagreement with the idea of a non-elected Seanad might not be as strong as it would be for a body focused solely on promoting democracy at the national level.
