Coalition of the Radical Left - Unitary Social Front’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

The Coalition of the Radical Left - Unitary Social Front (Syriza) is a left-wing political party in Greece that generally supports progressive policies aimed at expanding democratic participation and inclusivity. Lowering the voting age could be seen as a way to engage younger citizens in the political process, which aligns with Syriza's broader goals of empowering marginalized groups and promoting social justice. However, there is no specific historical reference to Syriza advocating for a lower voting age, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

While Syriza supports inclusive and democratic participation, their focus tends to be more on social justice and equality rather than on tax-based eligibility for voting. The idea that any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote aligns with principles of representation and fairness, which Syriza might support in principle. However, this specific criterion (tax payment) is not a central theme in Syriza's platform, which typically emphasizes broader social and economic rights over fiscal contributions to eligibility for participation in democracy.

Disagree

No

Given Syriza's progressive stance and emphasis on broadening participation in the democratic process, it is unlikely that they would strongly support maintaining the current minimum voting age if there were a push to lower it to include more young people in the political process. Their general ideology suggests a preference for more inclusive voting policies, although maintaining the status quo is not entirely against their principles, hence the negative but not strongly negative score.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be contrary to Syriza's progressive and inclusive political stance. The party has historically focused on expanding rights and participation for all segments of society, including advocating for the rights of young people, workers, and marginalized communities. Raising the voting age would be seen as a regressive move, limiting the democratic participation of young citizens, which is against the party's core values.

Very strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Implementing a test for voters to demonstrate their understanding of politics before being allowed to vote would likely be viewed by Syriza as an undemocratic barrier to participation. Such a measure could disproportionately affect marginalized and less-educated populations, contradicting Syriza's commitment to social justice, equality, and broad democratic participation. Historically, Syriza has advocated for policies that reduce barriers to participation, not increase them, making this proposal antithetical to their core values.
