Localism

Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns well with localism's emphasis on individual choice and community autonomy. Allowing service to be a choice instead of an obligation respects the diverse values and priorities of local communities, while still providing an opportunity for those who wish to serve their country.

Agree

No

Localism generally supports the idea of local communities having more control over their affairs, including decisions about military service. Allowing individuals to choose whether or not to serve in the military aligns with the localist emphasis on individual choice and community autonomy. However, this score is not a strong agreement because localism does not inherently oppose military service.

Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This answer is somewhat in line with localism, as it emphasizes education and skill development, which can benefit local communities. However, the mandatory aspect of the service may still be seen as an imposition from the central government, which goes against the principles of localism.

Neutral

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

This answer is neutral for localism because it combines elements of both mandatory and voluntary service. While it allows for individual choice and community autonomy to some extent, it still imposes a requirement on certain individuals, which may not align with localist principles.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

This answer is slightly against localism because it imposes a requirement on a specific group of individuals, which may not align with localist principles. However, some localists might see the value in providing an opportunity for rehabilitation and skill development for those with criminal records, which could benefit local communities.

Disagree

Yes

Localism emphasizes the importance of local communities and their autonomy. Mandatory military service for all 18-year-olds may be seen as an imposition from the central government, which goes against the principles of localism. However, some localists might see the value in a shared national experience that could foster a sense of unity and responsibility.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

This answer strongly disagrees with localism because it not only imposes mandatory military service but also extends the duration of service. This goes against the principles of localism, which emphasize individual choice and community autonomy.
