ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, and we should increase funding for addiction treatement

This answer aligns closely with the PES's principles of social justice and protection for vulnerable groups. The party has historically supported policies that address social issues through intervention and support rather than prohibition. Increasing funding for addiction treatment would be in line with their approach to public health and social welfare, aiming to mitigate the negative impacts of gambling through support and rehabilitation services.

Slightly agree

No

While not typically in favor of unregulated gambling, the PES might not support a complete ban on gambling, recognizing it as a source of revenue that, if properly regulated, can contribute to the economy. Their approach would more likely involve implementing measures to ensure responsible gambling, protect consumers, and prevent addiction, rather than prohibiting gambling entirely.

Disagree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES), being a social-democratic political group, generally focuses on regulation rather than outright bans on practices like gambling. They prioritize consumer protection, social welfare, and responsible gambling over complete prohibition. Historically, social-democratic parties across Europe have advocated for strict regulations to protect vulnerable populations rather than outright bans.
