@9Q9TGVG9mos9MO
Decrease, in most instances we should be working to solve our own problems which the extra money could go towards
@9PR9XBJConservative9mos9MO
Foreign aid should be provided for disasters, controls should be in place to avoid corruption in use of these funds.
@9PKT28R9mos9MO
Increase but ensure this is for investment and measure outcomes. No funding for corrupt officials and cancel debt.
@9LRJYKS11mos11MO
Maintain but only to to support countries with societal and economic issues insurmountable without support not finding countries with larger GDPs
@9LL243Y12mos12MO
Stick with the current amount of spending but decrease or stop the amount for countries with human rights violations.
@9KM76831yr1Y
Decrease, unless we are directly involved. And deny aid to countries that violate human rights or promote terrorism
@9K27NRQ1yr1Y
Has there been any analysis into what would happen if we stopped, or if all the more advanced countries stopped collectively? And everyone look after their own. With emergency aid due to natural disaster like floods, earthquakes tsunami, fires, still being supported
@9JX37QF1yr1Y
Increase, but only when the cost of living crisis has been neutralised. Additionally, the UK shouldn’t provide any supplies to countries openly against British Values except for humanitarian efforts/civilian aid
@9JFWL2GPlaid Cymru1yr1Y
Any change to foreign aid should be on redistribution of the wealth this country stole within colonialism
@9MSGFNB10mos10MO
Yes but only for poor countries who do not have the capability to provide aid to themselves/where their government is also doing all that it can
@9N6DWYM10mos10MO
Foreign aid is only appropriate if it’s strategically allocated to support the sustainable development of the countries that need it the most.
Maintain, but re-evaluate recipients to not include countries with no human rights violations or links to terrorism
@9BKPX4M2yrs2Y
Foreign aid should be applied by a body of the British government.
@95WS7523yrs3Y
We should limit foreign aid to disaster funds.
@93TS9NN3yrs3Y
Neither, but more direct gifting needs to be used as this is the most effective tool for aiding foreign development.
@93RLLFF3yrs3Y
Increase, but take measures against corrupt governments that may missuse such aid. maybe refuse financial aid completely, and only provide aid of products, time, logisitcs, and people
@92S3SGQ3yrs3Y
Only if we are sure the aid isn't redirected to their military
@8YVLB363yrs3Y
Influence other cpuntries policies and reduce aid.
@8W3JFX94yrs4Y
increase but send durectly to people in need if the government is corrupt
@8W2JNCR4yrs4Y
We should maintain the UN percentage of GDP that we originally ratified with aid money not being directed to nations that are able to afford high tech space programmes and nuclear industries.
@8TLYBBB4yrs4Y
Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries, such ventures should be solely charitable.
decrease until we’ve reformed it our foreign aid system
@8TDQCKS4yrs4Y
Stop funding countries who have space programs
@8SKR47J4yrs4Y
Stay the same but change how it is spent
@8QBNCHY4yrs4Y
We should decrease or remove support depending on the countries that have a support for terrorism.
Increase, under strict and non company bias terms to avoid bro colonialism
Neither, however deny aid to dictatorship, countries that harbour or promote terrorism or violate human rights
@8GPDTBZ4yrs4Y
Help any country who is willing to stand up to China.
@99QB8W62yrs2Y
Give fair amounts to people who need it
@99L92WH2yrs2Y
Decrease based on how that foreign aid is spent and where the aid is actually going to e.g. just the higher ups in the government or the people that need it.
@98SPZ652yrs2Y
More complicated that increasing/decreasing
@98QG4NG2yrs2Y
It depends on the country and if/how much they need it. Funds should be spent on the people in need.
@96T79NW2yrs2Y
Decrease temporarily until the government can aid their own country out of the cost of living crisis
@96T6CPS2yrs2Y
Increase, but not for countries with their own space program
@8Q4G8GV4yrs4Y
Make sure the money we give is actually used, not wasted/ misused by foreign governments
