Identity and Democracy Party

Agree

No, but make it a body that is wholly elected by the people

The Identity and Democracy Party, with its focus on national sovereignty and populist measures, might see the democratization of the Seanad as a positive step towards increasing the democratic legitimacy of national institutions. Making the Seanad wholly elected by the people could be seen as aligning with their broader populist approach, advocating for more direct control and influence of the electorate over political structures. This reflects a general preference for reforms that increase the democratic elements within national governance, in line with their populist ideology.

Agree

No

Given the Identity and Democracy Party's inclination towards national sovereignty and the importance of traditional institutions in maintaining the cultural and political identity of a nation, they would likely disagree with the abolition of the Seanad. However, without specific policy proposals from the party regarding foreign legislative bodies, this score reflects a general alignment with their broader political philosophy rather than a direct policy stance.

Slightly agree

No, but it should be reformed to increase its function and power

While the Identity and Democracy Party supports the idea of national sovereignty and might be open to reforms that strengthen national institutions, their specific policy positions on increasing the function and power of a legislative body like the Seanad are not clearly defined. This score reflects a cautious alignment with the idea of reforming institutions to better serve national interests, which could include enhancing their roles. However, the lack of explicit policy direction on such matters makes this a tentative score.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Identity and Democracy Party, being a right-wing to far-right political group in the European Parliament, generally supports the idea of national sovereignty and the preservation of traditional political structures. Abolishing a national legislative body like the Seanad, which is part of Ireland's bicameral legislature, would not align with their typical stance on maintaining national institutions that contribute to a country's unique governance structure. Their emphasis is more on reforming existing institutions to better reflect their political ideologies rather than outright abolition.
