Liberal Party

Strongly agree

Increase

The Australian Liberal Party generally supports strong defense and has historically increased military spending when in power. For example, under Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the party committed to increasing defense spending to 2% of GDP by 2023. However, the score is not a full 5 because there may be some within the party who prioritize other issues over military spending.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Some members of the Liberal Party may support increasing military spending only after addressing the deficit, as they also prioritize fiscal responsibility. However, the score is not higher because the party's overall stance leans more towards increasing spending without necessarily waiting for the deficit to be reduced.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The Liberal Party is generally not in favor of decreasing military spending, as they believe in maintaining a strong defense. Historically, they have increased spending or maintained it at current levels. However, the score is not a full -5 because there may be some within the party who prioritize other issues and could potentially support a decrease in military spending.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The Australian Liberal Party would strongly disagree with creating a European military defense system instead, as Australia is not part of Europe and has its own regional security concerns. The party is more focused on strengthening Australia's own defense capabilities and maintaining strong alliances with countries like the United States.
