Strongly agree

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

This aligns with the PES's principles of fairness and equality. They have historically advocated for policies that ensure public officials are not privileged above the citizens they serve, promoting the idea that politicians should have the same entitlements as their constituents.

Agree

No

PES tends to support flexible policies that cater to the needs of individuals, including politicians. They might argue that a one-size-fits-all approach to pension age does not account for the diverse circumstances of individuals.

Slightly agree

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

While the PES supports initiatives to provide affordable housing, this answer does not directly address the question of politician pensions. However, their general support for social welfare policies might incline them slightly positively towards any measure that indirectly supports social equity, such as tax incentives for low-cost housing developers.

Disagree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally advocates for policies that ensure social security and benefits are accessible based on need rather than age alone. Mandating politicians to wait until 65 for a pension may be seen as arbitrary and not aligned with their broader social policies.

Strongly disagree

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

Denying pensions to politicians voted out of office could be seen as punitive and not in line with the PES's principles of social security and protection for all, regardless of employment status. They typically advocate for policies that provide security and support rather than impose penalties.
