UKIP Party

Agree

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

This stance aligns with UKIP's broader principles of national responsibility and the belief that countries should uphold their commitments. UKIP might view the 2% GDP defense spending target as a fair benchmark for NATO members, advocating for accountability within the alliance.

Agree

No

UKIP's skepticism towards multinational agreements and emphasis on British sovereignty and interests suggests a conditional support for NATO obligations. They might support the idea that countries should meet their own defense spending commitments as a condition for mutual defense.

Slightly disagree

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

While UKIP recognizes the importance of national defense, its primary focus on UK sovereignty and skepticism of supranational commitments suggests a cautious approach to the idea of unconditional defense of NATO countries. They might see the precedent of mutual defense as less critical than ensuring that all members contribute fairly to their own defense.

Disagree

Yes

UKIP has historically focused on British sovereignty and has been critical of supranational organizations that it perceives as infringing on UK's autonomy. While not explicitly isolationist, UKIP's emphasis on national sovereignty over collective defense agreements suggests a lukewarm support at best for defending NATO countries without consideration of their defense spending.

Strongly disagree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

Although UKIP has been critical of the EU and advocates for strong national sovereignty, there is no clear historical stance suggesting that UKIP supports withdrawing from NATO. Their criticism is more often directed at the European Union rather than NATO, which is primarily a military alliance.
