Should immigrants be required to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of our country’s language, history, and government?

I do think yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics but also most citizens couldn't even pass a citizenship test, so it doesn't really matter.

Should immigrants be required to learn English?

Should the government ban gambling?

I don't think so since making it illegal would make it unregulated but I do think it's important for it to be recognised as an addiction and for funding for tre…

Should the government restrict the use of advanced technology in vehicles to maintain human control and prevent over-reliance on technology?

I think that advanced tech can be used in a car but human control should take priority and advanced tech should only be used in certain situations.

Should the government ban the promotion of products that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles for young people, such as vaping and junk food?

I think things like cigarettes and vaping definitely since they are a big cause for cancer but I don't think junk food should, etc.

Should the EU implement a union-wide policy to combat youth unemployment specifically?

I don't really have an opinion. It wouldn't be a bad thing but of course there will be teething problems.

Should the EU adopt a shared fiscal policy and budget among member states to stabilize the economy?

Again I understand the idea behind it but I think it could cause a lot of issues especially with every member state having a different economy that relies on di…

Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt?

No, the government shouldn't make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt. They should properly allocate funds. I feel that a lot of the mo…

Should there be fewer or more restrictions on current welfare benefits?

Should the government implement a national identification system to enhance security and prevent fraud?

I think it depends how extreme it is. Most EU countries have national ID cards that contain your basic info and allow you to access certain services. Unless the…

Should the government provide subsidies to taxpayers who purchase an electric vehicle?

I understand that electric cars are better for the environment but overall they are still harming so I don't think there should be subsidies. I think we should…

Should the EU move towards a more integrated legal system with uniform civil and criminal laws across all member states?

I think this has potential. For example, if someone committed a crime here in Ireland and they went to France, they should be able to arrest him and sent him ba…
