ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Denying benefits to immigrants is a core part of AfD's platform, which is focused on reducing immigration and prioritizing resources for German citizens. This stance is consistent with their broader nationalist and anti-immigration agenda.

Agree

More, current benefits should be capped

Capping current benefits aligns with AfD's broader fiscal conservatism and emphasis on reducing state expenditure, although specific proposals on welfare caps from the party are not as prominent as their stances on immigration and national identity.

Agree

More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

Reforming the welfare system to supplement rather than replace working income could resonate with AfD's emphasis on incentivizing work and reducing dependency on state support, aligning with their broader economic policies.

Agree

More

Slightly agree

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled

Although AfD advocates for more restrictions on welfare, they might support increased benefits for the elderly and disabled as a way to target support to those deemed most in need, fitting within a nationalist framework that prioritizes assistance for citizens.

Slightly disagree

No changes needed

Disagree

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

While ensuring benefits go to those most in need might seem in line with targeted welfare support, AfD's focus on reducing overall state expenditure and their skepticism towards immigration suggests they would be unlikely to support broadening access to welfare.

Strongly disagree

Fewer

AfD is unlikely to support fewer restrictions on current welfare benefits as they advocate for policies that reduce state spending and encourage self-reliance, viewing extensive welfare benefits as a burden on the economy.

Very strongly disagree

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support
