Agree

Agree

Yes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

This aligns with the PES's principles of fairness and the belief that those who contribute to society through taxes should have a say in how it is run, although the party might prefer a more comprehensive approach to voting rights.

Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports inclusive policies and the rights of residents, including foreigners, to participate in the society they live in. However, their support might be more nuanced, considering the balance between integration and the rights of citizenship.

Slightly agree

Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote in local elections

Neutral

Yes, but only after living in the country for 10 years

Disagree

Yes, but they should not be allowed to vote in local elections
