Keep current levels of spending, but reduce / increase based on human rights violations. Ie, reduce for some countries / increase for others.
@93BMQNW3yrs3Y
Increase or keep same but needs revisions
Increase. The government has pillaged from other nations long enough and it is time they repay what they stole
@92PLS2NLiberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Country on country basis
@8W2JC294yrs4Y
Stick to current policy and raise it back 0.7% of GNI at the earliest opportunity. Block aid to countries who violet human rights and promote terrorism. Divert those funds to countries that do niether.
@8TFQQLF4yrs4Y
Increase, but only for countries in crisis or third world countries
@8SPYBVC4yrs4Y
Its complicated, we should be helping countries that don't have human rights or very little human rights and in places that are suffering.
@97BW5GK2yrs2Y
Has to be country by country basis
@8QMT3ZY4yrs4Y
Stay the same but don’t give to countries that use the money to support their poor whilst there the elite look after themselves - ie China
@9JXZ7LQ1yr1Y
I understand less about the amount of spending, but do feel that these questions do not reflect opinions on where the money is actually going. 'That harbour or promote terrorism' is a charged phrase - people will disagree on which countries do this and therefore where the spending should go.
