ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Increase

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports policies that foster economic growth and competitiveness within the EU. Increasing the number of temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers aligns with their agenda to enhance innovation and address skill shortages in the European labor market. Historically, ALDE has advocated for a more integrated European approach to immigration, emphasizing the need for skilled workers to support the EU's economic objectives.

Agree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

The statement aligns with ALDE's broader economic philosophy of fostering a competitive and innovative European economy. They believe in the benefits of attracting high-skilled workers to the EU. However, the emphasis on hiring 'at the lowest cost' might not fully resonate with their commitment to fair working conditions, suggesting a slightly lower agreement with this statement.

Agree

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

ALDE supports comprehensive education and training programs to equip EU citizens with the necessary skills for the modern economy. However, they also recognize the immediate benefits of high-skilled immigration to fill existing gaps. Thus, while they would likely support incentives for training citizens, they might not agree that decreasing temporary work visas is the best approach to achieving this goal.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount

While ALDE supports the use of skilled immigration to enhance the EU's economic performance, their position on whether the current amount of temporary work visas is adequate is not explicitly clear. They might argue for adjustments based on economic needs and labor market conditions rather than maintaining the status quo.

Disagree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

Although ALDE is concerned about fair wages and working conditions, their economic policies lean towards market liberalization and competitiveness. They might view the claim that companies are taking advantage of the program to decrease wages as overly simplistic, preferring instead to address such issues through regulatory measures that ensure fair competition and worker protection without necessarily decreasing visa numbers.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

ALDE's policies typically favor open markets and the free movement of labor, especially when it comes to filling skill gaps within the EU. Decreasing the amount of temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers would contradict their stance on using immigration as a tool to bolster economic growth and competitiveness. Therefore, they are likely to disagree with this approach.
