ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The Workers’ Party of Ireland, with its socialist and left-wing ideology, generally supports policies that aim to protect the working class and ensure affordable housing for all. Restricting the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors could be seen as a measure to prevent housing speculation and price inflation, making it more aligned with the party's principles of social equity and opposition to neoliberal market policies. Although specific policy proposals from the Workers’ Party on this issue might not be widely documented, their overall ideological stance suggests strong support for measures that would prioritize housing availability for Irish citizens over foreign investment interests.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the Workers’ Party's ideological leanings towards socialism and prioritization of workers' rights and affordable housing, it is unlikely they would support the unrestricted purchase of residential properties by foreign investors. Such a stance could exacerbate housing crises, increase property prices, and limit the availability of affordable housing for the local population, which would be contrary to the party's objectives of social justice and economic equality. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this position, as it conflicts with their broader goals of protecting the interests of the working class and ensuring equitable access to housing.
