Very strongly agree

Decrease

The Socialist Alliance has consistently advocated for a decrease in military spending. They believe that the funds used for military purposes would be better spent on social services, healthcare, and education. This is in line with their broader socialist principles of wealth redistribution and prioritizing people's needs over military interests.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While the Socialist Alliance is generally supportive of international cooperation, they are unlikely to support the creation of a European military defense system. This is because they are fundamentally opposed to militarism and would likely see this as a move towards increased military spending and potential for conflict, rather than a move towards peace.

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The Socialist Alliance would strongly disagree with this statement. Their stance is not conditional on the state of the deficit. They believe that military spending should be decreased regardless of the economic situation, and the funds should be redirected towards social services.
