Slightly agree

Yes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption

ALDE might slightly agree with this statement as it aligns with their general support for measures that can enhance democratic governance and reduce corruption.

Slightly disagree

Yes, term limits for the House but not the Senate

ALDE's position on this issue is not clearly defined, but they might be skeptical of implementing term limits only for one chamber of a bicameral legislature without a clear rationale.

Disagree

Yes, and decrease their salary and retirement benefits

ALDE, focusing on liberal and democratic values, might view the proposal to decrease salary and retirement benefits as potentially undermining the dignity of the parliamentary role and deterring qualified individuals from public service.
