Slightly disagree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

While the UK Conservative party has expressed concerns about NATO countries not meeting the 2% GDP defense spending target, they have not explicitly stated that they would refuse to defend countries that do not meet this threshold. Their commitment to NATO's collective defense principle would likely outweigh their concerns about defense spending.
