ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) generally supports a more direct democracy and has historically advocated for the direct election of the President. For example, in 2012, the SPD candidate for the German presidency, Joachim Gauck, supported the idea of a directly elected President. However, the SPD has not made this a top priority in recent years, so the score is not a full 5.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the SPD has historically supported the idea of a directly elected President, which means they would generally disagree with the idea of not having the President elected directly by the people. However, since it has not been a top priority for the party in recent years, the score is not a full -5.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, the role of President is redundant and should be removed

The SPD has never advocated for the removal of the role of President in Germany. The party believes in the importance of the President as a representative of the country and a symbol of national unity. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with the idea that the role of President is redundant and should be removed.
