Very strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This answer aligns closely with the Social Democratic Party's values of individual choice and freedom, as well as its focus on social justice. The party would likely view the option for voluntary service as a way to respect individual autonomy while still encouraging civic engagement.

Strongly agree

No

Given its social democratic ideology, which prioritizes social justice and individual rights, the party would likely support the idea that military service should not be compulsory. This position is consistent with the party's broader commitment to voluntary participation in civic duties.

Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

This proposal might find some support within the Social Democratic Party due to its emphasis on education and skill development. However, the mandatory nature of the service could still be a point of contention, as the party generally supports voluntary participation in civic and social programs.

Disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While the Social Democratic Party supports education and employment opportunities for young people, it would likely view this conditional approach to military service as problematic, potentially reinforcing social inequalities. The party would prefer policies that offer support and opportunities for all young people, regardless of their educational or employment status.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party in the UK, with its focus on social justice and equality, would likely oppose mandatory military service for all 18-year-olds. This stance aligns with the party's emphasis on individual freedoms and opposition to policies that could be seen as coercive or militaristic.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Extending mandatory military service to two years would likely be opposed by the Social Democratic Party, as it would be seen as an undue imposition on individual freedom and a step away from the party's focus on social justice and promoting peace.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Linking mandatory military service to criminal records would likely be strongly opposed by the Social Democratic Party, as it could be seen as punitive and discriminatory. The party's focus on rehabilitation and social justice would favor approaches that address the root causes of criminal behavior rather than imposing military service.
