Democratic Unionists answer is based on the following data:

Strongly agree

Increase

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) generally supports a strong military and defense system. They have historically backed the UK's armed forces and have called for increased spending on defense. However, their primary focus is on Northern Ireland's interests, so their support for increased military spending may not be as strong as other conservative parties.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The DUP might agree with increasing military spending after reducing the deficit, as they have shown support for fiscal responsibility in the past. However, their primary focus is on Northern Ireland's interests, so their support for this approach may not be as strong as other conservative parties.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the DUP may be somewhat satisfied with the current level of military spending, they have historically called for increased spending on defense. Therefore, they might not strongly agree with maintaining the current spending levels, but they would not be entirely opposed to it either.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The DUP is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending, as they have consistently advocated for a strong defense system and have shown support for the UK's armed forces. Reducing military spending would go against their general stance on national security and defense.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The DUP is strongly against the idea of a European military defense system, as they are staunch supporters of the UK's sovereignty and have been vocal opponents of European integration. They would likely see a European military defense system as a threat to the UK's independence and national security.
