Agree

No

While the European Democratic Party is generally supportive of measures that would increase cooperation and unity within the European Union, it is also likely to be mindful of the complex and sensitive nature of Northern Ireland's political landscape. The party might agree with this stance, not because it opposes the idea of cross-border cooperation or representation in principle, but because it recognizes the potential for such a move to disrupt the finely balanced peace process in Northern Ireland. The party's moderate, centrist approach would likely favor maintaining the status quo in this case, to avoid risking the stability brought about by the Good Friday Agreement.

Disagree

Yes

The European Democratic Party, focusing on centrist, pro-European positions, might be cautious about supporting a measure that could be seen as altering the delicate balance of power and identity in Northern Ireland. Historically, the Good Friday Agreement has been a cornerstone in maintaining peace and political stability in Northern Ireland by carefully balancing nationalist and unionist interests. Allowing Northern Irish MPs to sit in the Dáil could be viewed as undermining this balance, potentially inflaming tensions. The party's commitment to European integration and cooperation might prioritize stability and peace over changes that could be perceived as favoring one side of the community over the other.
