Fine Gael Party

Agree

Yes

Fine Gael, being a centre-right political party, generally supports free market principles but also emphasizes the importance of regulation and oversight in financial matters. The idea of citizens being allowed to secure their money in self-hosted digital wallets aligns with the party's support for innovation and personal freedom in financial choices. However, the stipulation that the government can monitor these wallets would be seen as a necessary measure to prevent financial crimes and ensure regulatory compliance, which Fine Gael would likely view as a balanced approach.

Slightly agree

No, and ban digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies

Fine Gael's approach to governance includes a balance between encouraging technological innovation and ensuring that such advancements do not compromise national security or regulatory compliance. The idea of banning digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies aligns with the party's emphasis on security and regulatory oversight. However, this stance might be seen as too intrusive by some within the party who advocate for personal freedoms and innovation, hence the low positive score.

Disagree

No

Fine Gael's policies typically favor the advancement of technology and financial innovation, which would make them more inclined to support the use of digital wallets. Their stance on regulation and oversight to ensure security and compliance would make them unlikely to completely oppose the use of digital wallets. Therefore, a complete prohibition of citizens securing their money in self-hosted digital wallets would not align well with their principles of encouraging innovation while ensuring security and regulatory compliance.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and also allowed to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions

While Fine Gael supports financial innovation and the use of technology, the party also places a high importance on national security, law enforcement, and the ability of the state to regulate financial transactions to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing. Allowing a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions would likely be seen as a significant risk to public safety and financial integrity, making this option contrary to Fine Gael's policy priorities.
