Scottish Socialist Party

Strongly agree

Decrease

The SSP is likely to support a decrease in military spending, aligning with their broader socialist and anti-war principles. They have consistently argued for a reallocation of resources from defense to public services that directly benefit the population, such as healthcare and education. This stance is in line with their general opposition to militarism and interventions abroad.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The SSP's position on creating a European military defense system is not explicitly documented, but given their general stance on internationalism and cooperation, they might see some value in collaborative defense efforts that could potentially reduce individual national military spending. However, their primary focus remains on reducing military expenditure and investing in social services, making their support for this option likely lukewarm at best.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While the SSP is focused on reducing deficits through progressive taxation and opposes austerity measures, their primary concern with military spending is not contingent on the state of the deficit. Their approach to economic management prioritizes social welfare over military expenditure, making it unlikely they would conditionally support an increase in military spending.

Strongly disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Given the SSP's advocacy for reallocating military funds to social programs, it is unlikely they would be satisfied with the current level of military spending. Their platform typically calls for significant changes in spending priorities, making this position inconsistent with their documented policies and campaign statements.

Very strongly disagree

Increase

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) traditionally supports policies that prioritize social welfare and public services over military spending. They have historically advocated for reducing military expenditure in favor of investing in healthcare, education, and other social services. Increasing military spending would be contrary to their core principles and policy priorities.
