Localism

Agree

Decrease

Localism emphasizes the importance of local communities and their ability to govern themselves. Decreasing military spending could potentially free up resources for local development and social programs, which would align with localist values. However, this score is not a strong agreement because localism does not inherently oppose military spending, but rather prioritizes local needs.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Localism does not have a specific stance on the current level of military spending, as it is more concerned with decentralization and local autonomy. Some localists might be satisfied with the current spending if it does not interfere with local development and self-governance, while others might prefer a different allocation of resources.

Neutral

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer is neutral for localism because it depends on the specific context and priorities of the local community. Some localists might agree with increasing military spending after addressing the deficit, while others might prioritize local development and social programs over military spending regardless of the deficit situation.

Disagree

Increase

Localism generally focuses on decentralization and empowering local communities. While some localists might support increased military spending for local defense, many would argue that resources should be allocated to local development and social programs instead of a centralized military force.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system would likely centralize power and decision-making, which goes against the core principles of localism. Localists generally advocate for decentralization and empowering local communities, so they would likely disagree with the idea of a centralized European military defense system.
