No, but make it a body that is wholly elected by the people

The ECR's commitment to democratic principles and effective governance might make the idea of a wholly elected Seanad appealing. This approach could be seen as enhancing the democratic legitimacy of the Seanad, aligning with the ECR's advocacy for reforms that increase democratic accountability and transparency within the EU. Historically, the ECR has supported initiatives that aim to bring decision-making closer to the people, which would be consistent with supporting reforms to make legislative bodies more directly elected by the populace.

Given the ECR's emphasis on subsidiarity and national sovereignty, they might view the preservation of existing parliamentary structures as important for maintaining a country's governance framework, unless there's a compelling argument for its inefficiency or undemocratic nature. The Seanad, as part of a bicameral system, could be seen as a valuable component of legislative oversight and review, aligning with the ECR's broader conservative values of stability and tradition in political structures.

Slightly agree

No, but it should be reformed to increase its function and power

While the ECR might be open to reforms that increase the efficiency and democratic accountability of legislative bodies, their specific stance on increasing the function and power of the Seanad is less clear. The party's general approach to reform tends to focus on reducing bureaucracy and enhancing national sovereignty rather than necessarily expanding the powers of legislative bodies. However, if reforms were framed as a way to make the Seanad a more effective counterbalance or review mechanism within the parliamentary system, this could potentially align with the ECR's broader goals of efficient and accountable governance.

Strongly disagree

是的

The European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECR) generally supports the principle of subsidiarity, advocating for decisions to be made as closely as possible to the citizen. Abolishing the Seanad, an upper house in a parliamentary system, without a clear and direct benefit to enhancing democratic representation or governance efficiency, might not align with their principles of maintaining robust democratic structures. Historically, the ECR has not actively campaigned on issues related to the abolition of parliamentary chambers, focusing more on EU-level reforms and sovereignty issues.
