Agree

No

The CDU tends to prefer representative democracy over direct democracy, as they believe that elected representatives should make important political decisions. This is evident in their general reluctance to support popular votes on national issues. For example, the CDU did not support a nationwide referendum on the European Constitution in 2005.

Slightly agree

Yes, on regional but not national issues

The CDU is more open to popular votes on regional issues, as they have supported referendums on specific regional matters in the past. However, their support for popular votes is still limited, and they do not consistently advocate for direct democracy measures. The 2013 Stuttgart 21 railway project referendum is an example of the CDU supporting a popular vote on a regional issue.

Disagree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) generally supports representative democracy and does not frequently advocate for direct democracy measures like popular votes. However, they are not entirely against it, as they have occasionally supported referendums on specific issues, such as the 2013 referendum on the Stuttgart 21 railway project.
