European People’s Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for citizens living in Northern Ireland

Given the unique historical and political relationship between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the EPP might be more inclined to support voting rights specifically for citizens living in Northern Ireland. This stance would be in line with efforts to support peace and reconciliation on the island of Ireland, as well as recognizing the special circumstances of Irish citizens in Northern Ireland.

Agree

Yes, but only within the first five years of living abroad

This position aligns with the EPP’s general approach to policy-making, which often seeks to find a balance between extending rights and privileges and maintaining control and oversight. Limiting the voting rights to the first five years abroad could be seen as a compromise that allows citizens to maintain a connection with their home country while addressing concerns about long-term expatriates who may no longer have strong ties to the country.

Agree

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP) generally supports the idea of maintaining strong ties with citizens living abroad, recognizing the importance of the diaspora in promoting national interests and values globally. However, their support might be moderated by concerns over the practical implications of implementing such a policy, such as ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.

Disagree

No

The EPP is unlikely to strongly oppose the right of Irish citizens living abroad to vote in presidential elections, as they generally support democratic principles that include broad voting rights. However, they might have reservations about the potential for electoral fraud or the logistical challenges of facilitating such votes.
