Disagree

Yes, but increase their salaries to attract the best politicians

Although the EPP might agree with the notion of attracting the best politicians, it is less likely to support a reduction in the number of representatives as a means to this end. The party's emphasis on broad representation and effective governance would likely lead it to view such a trade-off skeptically.

Disagree

Yes

Reducing the number of elected representatives could be seen as undermining this principle.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and reduce their salaries and retirement benefits

The EPP, while fiscally conservative, also values the role of politicians in governing effectively.
