Localism

Strongly agree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

Agree

Decrease

Localism would generally support the idea of decreasing foreign aid spending, as it would prefer resources to be invested in addressing local and national issues. The ideology emphasizes self-sufficiency and community resilience, which could be strengthened by reallocating funds domestically.

Agree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Localism might see the logic in decreasing foreign aid to reduce the national budget deficit, as it could lead to more resources being available for local and national priorities. However, the ideology's primary focus is not necessarily on fiscal policy but on the allocation of resources in a way that benefits local communities.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

While localism emphasizes local and national priorities, it may support denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism as a matter of principle and national security. However, this stance is more aligned with broader national security concerns than the core localist principle of prioritizing local governance and investment.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Localism does not have a clear stance on maintaining the current level of foreign aid spending, as its focus is more on where and how resources are allocated rather than the specific amount. The ideology's emphasis is on ensuring resources benefit local communities and national interests first.

Disagree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

While localism values ethical considerations, the idea of increasing foreign aid, even with conditions related to human rights, may be seen as contrary to its core principle of prioritizing local needs and governance. The ideology would likely prefer to address human rights through means other than foreign aid.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Localism prioritizes local governance, community decision-making, and investment within one's own country over international involvement. Increasing foreign aid spending would likely be seen as contrary to localist principles, which favor directing resources towards local or national needs first.
