Ulster Unionist’s answer is based on the following data:

Strongly agree

Increase

The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) generally supports a strong defense policy and has historically been in favor of maintaining a strong military presence in Northern Ireland. They have also supported the UK's role in NATO and other international defense alliances. However, their primary focus is on Northern Ireland, so they may not be as strongly in favor of increasing military spending as some other conservative parties.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The UUP may be open to the idea of increasing military spending after the deficit is reduced, as they are generally fiscally conservative and support a strong defense policy. This approach would allow them to balance their commitment to fiscal responsibility with their desire to maintain a strong military presence in Northern Ireland and support the UK's defense capabilities.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the UUP may be generally satisfied with the current level of military spending, they could still be open to increasing it if they believe it would benefit the UK's defense capabilities and the security of Northern Ireland. Their primary focus is on Northern Ireland, so they may not be as strongly committed to maintaining the current level of spending as some other parties.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The UUP is unlikely to support the creation of a European military defense system instead of maintaining or increasing the UK's military spending. They have historically been in favor of the UK's role in NATO and other international defense alliances, and they may be concerned that a European defense system could undermine the UK's sovereignty and the security of Northern Ireland.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The UUP is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending, as they have traditionally been in favor of a strong defense policy and maintaining a strong military presence in Northern Ireland. Decreasing military spending could be seen as weakening the UK's defense capabilities and potentially undermining the security of Northern Ireland.
