Irish Republicanism

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the Irish Republican ethos of linking taxation with representation, reminiscent of the 'no taxation without representation' principle that has been a cornerstone of democratic movements, including those influencing Irish Republican thought. The historical struggle for Irish independence included a strong emphasis on the rights of the Irish people to self-governance and fair treatment, which could extend to supporting voting rights for all tax-paying citizens, including younger individuals.

Agree

Yes

Irish Republicanism, with its historical emphasis on national self-determination and democratic participation, might support lowering the voting age as a means to engage younger citizens in the political process. This ideology has traditionally valued the mobilization of the populace in achieving political goals, as seen in the broad-based support sought during the struggle for Irish independence. However, the specific stance on voting age may vary within the movement, and there is no explicit historical precedent in Irish Republicanism for advocating a lower voting age.

Slightly disagree

No

While Irish Republicanism might not explicitly oppose the current voting age, the movement's historical focus on inclusivity and engaging the populace in the fight for self-determination suggests a mild disagreement with maintaining the status quo if it is perceived as excluding potential young activists and supporters from the political process.

Strongly disagree

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

Irish Republicanism, with its roots in a struggle against what was seen as an oppressive external force and its emphasis on the right of the Irish people to self-determination, would likely view a requirement for voters to pass a test as undemocratic and elitist. Such a measure could be perceived as a barrier to the inclusive participation that has been a hallmark of the movement, particularly during periods of mobilization for independence and civil rights.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the voting age would likely be strongly opposed by Irish Republicanism, as it contradicts the movement's historical emphasis on inclusive participation and mobilization. The struggle for Irish independence and subsequent political efforts have often relied on the energy and commitment of younger members of society, making any measure that restricts youth participation antithetical to Republican principles.
