Strongly agree

Increase

The UK Labour party has traditionally supported increasing foreign aid spending. For example, under Tony Blair's government, the UK's foreign aid budget increased significantly. However, the score is not a full 5 because some factions within the party may prioritize domestic spending over foreign aid.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

The Labour party may partially agree with this statement, as they are concerned about human rights violations. However, they also recognize that countries with human rights violations may still need assistance, and cutting off aid could harm innocent civilians.
