Disagree

No

Given their critical stance on the current structure of the EU, they might view a reduction in the number of representatives as a way to decrease what they see as bureaucratic bloat. However, they might not outright oppose the current number if it means maintaining adequate representation for their nationalist and sovereignty-focused agendas.

Disagree

No, this would give too much political power to a small number of representatives

While the party is critical of the EU's structure, their primary focus is on sovereignty and national identity rather than ensuring a broad distribution of political power within the EU's institutions. They might not see the concentration of power as a primary concern compared to issues of national autonomy and control.
