ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

Fine Gael, as a centre-right political party in Ireland, generally supports international norms and has shown a commitment to human rights. The party has been part of governments that have endorsed international human rights treaties and has supported EU positions on human rights issues. However, their economic and strategic interests may sometimes influence their stance on arms sales, leading to a more moderate position rather than an outright ban.

Slightly agree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

While Fine Gael supports human rights, the party's approach to foreign policy and defense is pragmatic, focusing on balancing Ireland's interests with its international obligations. A complete ban on sales to countries with human rights violations might be seen as too rigid, potentially conflicting with strategic and economic considerations.

Slightly disagree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

While Fine Gael recognizes the importance of supporting allies, the party also acknowledges the need for a responsible approach to arms sales, especially concerning human rights. Their stance would likely reflect a balance between supporting allies and adhering to international human rights standards, making them somewhat disagree with the idea of no restrictions even in the context of mutual defense.

Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

Fine Gael's policies generally support Ireland's engagement in international affairs, including peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. A blanket ban on all military aid to foreign countries would conflict with the party's support for international cooperation and Ireland's role in global peacekeeping efforts.

Disagree

No

Fine Gael's commitment to international norms and human rights would make it unlikely for them to support unrestricted government arms sales to countries accused of committing human rights violations. Their policies and political stance generally favor maintaining a balance between national interests and international human rights obligations.
