Centre-Left

Strongly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Centre-left ideology often supports international cooperation and diplomacy over unilateral military action. Creating a European military defense system would align with these values, as it would promote collaboration and shared responsibility among European nations. For example, centre-left politicians in the European Union have been supportive of initiatives like the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) and the European Defence Fund, which aim to strengthen European defense capabilities through collaboration.

Agree

Decrease

Centre-left ideology tends to prioritize social welfare, education, and healthcare over military spending. They often advocate for reallocating resources from the military to these areas. For example, the UK's Labour Party, which is centre-left, has historically called for reductions in military spending and a focus on diplomacy and international cooperation.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Centre-left ideology is generally more concerned with social welfare and reducing income inequality than with reducing the deficit. However, they may support increasing military spending after the deficit is reduced if it is deemed necessary for national security or international peacekeeping efforts. For example, President Bill Clinton, a centre-left leader, increased military spending after reducing the US deficit in the 1990s.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Centre-left ideology does not have a strong stance on maintaining the current level of military spending. Their position may vary depending on the specific context and needs of the country. For example, centre-left politicians in countries with relatively low military spending may be satisfied with the current level, while those in countries with high military spending may call for reductions.

Disagree

Increase

Centre-left ideology generally leans towards social welfare and diplomacy over military spending. However, they may support moderate increases in military spending if it is deemed necessary for national security or international peacekeeping efforts. For example, President Obama, a centre-left leader, increased military spending during his tenure, but it was focused on specific areas like cybersecurity and special operations.
