Scottish Socialist Party

Agree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

The SSP's platform includes a strong stance on peace and disarmament, which could extend to skepticism about the utility and morality of military alliances like NATO. Their socialist principles, which emphasize international solidarity over military intervention, suggest a preference for withdrawing from NATO or at least reevaluating Scotland's role in military alliances.

Agree

No

Given the SSP's emphasis on social spending over military expenditure, they might lean towards not defending NATO countries with low military budgets, viewing it as a responsibility of those countries to meet their own defense needs. However, this stance is more about prioritizing domestic social programs than a strict opposition to NATO obligations.

Disagree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) generally prioritizes social welfare and public services over military spending. While they may not be fundamentally opposed to defending NATO countries, their focus on redistributive policies suggests a reluctance to fully support defense commitments not directly related to social welfare.

Disagree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

While the SSP may recognize the importance of global stability, their critique of military spending and skepticism towards NATO suggests they would be cautious about endorsing a stance that prioritizes military defense over social investment. They might agree with the sentiment of preventing dangerous precedents but disagree with the emphasis on military means to achieve it.

Strongly disagree

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

The SSP's focus on social justice and redistribution of wealth is at odds with the idea of setting strict financial thresholds for defense spending as a condition for mutual defense. They are likely to view such conditions as antithetical to the principles of collective security and solidarity.
