Party of European Socialists

Strongly agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES), being a proponent of inclusive democracy and broader voting rights, would likely support extending voting rights to Irish citizens living abroad and in Northern Ireland. This stance aligns with their general advocacy for the rights of citizens and residents within the EU and their emphasis on participation in democratic processes. Historically, socialist and social democratic parties across Europe have supported measures to increase electoral participation and representation, including for diaspora communities.

Agree

Yes, but only for citizens living in Northern Ireland

The Party of European Socialists might view the specific inclusion of citizens living in Northern Ireland as a positive step, given the unique historical and political context of the island of Ireland and the Good Friday Agreement. This stance would recognize the special circumstances of Northern Ireland and the importance of maintaining strong ties and representation for all Irish citizens, in line with principles of solidarity and inclusivity. However, it might be seen as not going far enough in extending rights to all citizens abroad, hence the score is not maximally positive.

Agree

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

While the Party of European Socialists supports broadening electoral participation, they might see a time-limited approach as a compromise that balances the need for diaspora engagement with concerns about long-term detachment from domestic issues. However, this position might not fully align with their more inclusive stances on voting rights, hence the moderate score. It reflects a nuanced approach that acknowledges the importance of maintaining a connection to the home country but does not fully embrace the unrestricted extension of voting rights.

Strongly disagree

No

The Party of European Socialists would likely disagree with this stance, as it contradicts their broader principles of inclusivity, democracy, and the expansion of rights and participation for citizens, including those living abroad. Their policy positions typically emphasize breaking down barriers to participation in democratic processes rather than upholding restrictions that limit the electoral rights of citizens based on their place of residence.
