Strongly agree

Increase

The SNP has historically supported increased foreign aid spending. In their 2019 general election manifesto, they called for the UK to maintain its commitment to spending 0.7% of Gross National Income on foreign aid and to increase it in line with economic growth. However, they may not support an increase beyond this level.

Agree

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

While the SNP has not explicitly called for increasing foreign aid only to countries without human rights violations, they have emphasized the importance of promoting human rights and democracy through foreign aid. This suggests that they may be open to the idea of prioritizing aid to countries with better human rights records.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

The SNP has not explicitly called for denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism, but they have emphasized the importance of using foreign aid to promote peace, security, and stability. This suggests that they may support efforts to ensure that foreign aid does not inadvertently support terrorism or other harmful activities.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The SNP has called for maintaining the 0.7% foreign aid spending target, but they have also advocated for increasing it in line with economic growth. This suggests that they may not be entirely satisfied with the current level of spending but do not necessarily support a significant increase.

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

The SNP has not advocated for reducing foreign aid spending to address the national budget deficit.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The SNP has consistently opposed cuts to foreign aid spending. They have criticized the UK government's decision to reduce foreign aid from 0.7% to 0.5% of Gross National Income in 2020, arguing that it undermines the UK's global reputation and commitment to tackling poverty.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

The SNP has consistently supported foreign aid spending and has never advocated for completely ending aid to other countries. They believe that foreign aid is an essential tool for promoting global development, reducing poverty, and addressing humanitarian crises.
