Agree

No

No, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t represent what it should

While ALDE supports free speech, this answer's dismissive tone towards national symbols might not fully align with the party's respect for national identities and heritage.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports liberal values, including freedom of expression. Making it illegal to burn the Irish flag, or any flag, would likely be seen as a restriction on these freedoms. Historically, liberal parties in Europe have defended the right to free speech, even when it involves controversial or unpopular actions.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be illegal to burn any nation’s flag

Making it illegal to burn any nation's flag would be antithetical to the liberal values of free expression that ALDE champions. Historically, liberal parties have opposed laws that unduly restrict speech, viewing them as a slippery slope towards authoritarianism.
