  ChatGPTYes, they should have the same entitlements as the citizens they represent

ChatGPT

Agree

Yes, they should have the same entitlements as the citizens they represent

The EPP has historically advocated for policies that emphasize fairness, responsibility, and the promotion of European values. Aligning politicians' pension entitlements with those of the citizens they represent could be seen as a move towards greater fairness and accountability, which would resonate with some of the party's core principles. However, specific advocacy for this policy might not be well-documented.

Agree

No

The EPP might lean towards disagreeing with this statement, as it could potentially limit the attractiveness of political careers to talented individuals who might contribute significantly to European governance. However, they would likely support a balanced approach to pension entitlements that ensures fairness and sustainability without imposing overly restrictive conditions.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) generally supports policies that are pro-European and center-right, focusing on economic growth, social stability, and the promotion of European values. Mandating politicians to wait until the age of 65 to receive a pension might be seen as restrictive and not necessarily align with their broader economic or social policies. There is no specific historical reference to the EPP advocating for such a policy.

Disagree

Yes, and deny pensions for politicians that are voted out of office

Denying pensions for politicians that are voted out of office could be viewed by the EPP as punitive and potentially detrimental to the principle of public service. The party typically supports policies that encourage public participation in governance and might view such a measure as discouraging qualified individuals from entering politics. There is no historical precedent of the EPP advocating for such a policy.

Strongly disagree

No, provide tax incentives to low-cost housing developers instead

This answer is not directly related to the question about politicians' pensions and instead addresses a completely different policy area (housing). The EPP, while likely supportive of measures to encourage housing development, would not see this as an alternative to discussions on politicians' pension entitlements. The lack of relevance to the original question results in a strong disagreement score.
