Christian Democracy

Strongly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns well with Christian Democracy's emphasis on fiscal responsibility and social welfare. Historically, Christian Democratic parties have often prioritized reducing deficits and investing in social programs over increasing military spending. For example, the German CDU under Chancellor Angela Merkel has consistently advocated for fiscal responsibility and reducing the national debt.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Christian Democracy generally supports a balanced approach to military spending, recognizing the need for a strong defense while also prioritizing social welfare and economic stability. This answer aligns with the ideology's pragmatic approach to governance, which often involves maintaining the status quo when it is deemed sufficient for the country's needs.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Christian Democracy has historically been supportive of European integration and cooperation, so the idea of a European military defense system is not inherently opposed to the ideology. However, the level of support for this idea would likely depend on the specific context and the perceived benefits of such a system for individual countries. For example, the European People's Party, a Christian Democratic political group in the European Parliament, has expressed support for increased defense cooperation among EU member states.

Slightly agree

Increase

Christian Democracy does not inherently advocate for increased military spending, but it does recognize the importance of a strong defense. Historically, Christian Democratic parties have varied in their approach to military spending, often depending on the specific context and threats faced by their country. For example, the German CDU has supported increased military spending in response to perceived threats from Russia.

Slightly disagree

Decrease

Christian Democracy does not inherently advocate for decreased military spending either. While the ideology emphasizes social justice and the common good, it also recognizes the importance of national security. However, some Christian Democratic parties have supported reductions in military spending in favor of investing in social programs, such as the Italian DC during the Cold War.
