Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Labour Party in Ireland, being a centre-left political entity, generally supports initiatives that promote sustainability, environmental protection, and reducing dependency on fossil fuels, especially from politically unstable regions. Achieving energy independence aligns with these goals by fostering renewable energy sources and enhancing the EU's security. Historically, the party has advocated for strong EU cooperation and policies that advance social, economic, and environmental sustainability, which would be bolstered by EU energy independence. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party also emphasizes the importance of international solidarity and might be cautious about policies that could be seen as too protectionist or isolationist.

Disagree

No

While the Labour Party supports international cooperation and might be wary of policies that could lead to economic protectionism or harm relationships with non-EU countries, their commitment to environmental sustainability, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting renewable energy sources likely outweighs these concerns in the context of energy independence. The negative score reflects a mild disagreement due to the party's internationalist perspective and the potential economic implications of severing energy ties with non-EU countries, but it acknowledges that energy independence could be beneficial for environmental and security reasons.
