Should the Seanad be a wholly elected body?

  ChatGPTYes

European Free Alliance’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

The European Free Alliance (EFA), which advocates for the rights and self-determination of regions and stateless nations in Europe, would likely support the idea of a wholly elected Seanad to some extent. This is because a wholly elected body aligns with their principles of democracy, participation, and representation. Historically, EFA members have supported reforms that increase democratic legitimacy and ensure that all voices are heard in the political process. However, their specific stance might vary depending on how the election process is structured to ensure representation of minority and regional interests.

Disagree

No

The European Free Alliance's core values of democracy, participation, and representation suggest a preference for elected bodies that reflect the will of the people. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the Seanad not being a wholly elected body, as it could be seen as a barrier to full democratic representation. However, the score is not strongly negative because the EFA might see value in a mixed system if it ensures representation for minorities and regional interests, which aligns with their advocacy for the rights of stateless nations and regions within Europe.
