Very strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This aligns closely with Volt UK's values of individual freedom, choice, and the importance of civic engagement as a voluntary act. They would likely see service as an opportunity for personal and professional development, but only if chosen freely by the individual.

Strongly agree

No

Given Volt UK's progressive stance, focusing on empowerment, inclusivity, and fostering a united Europe, they would likely support the idea that military service should not be mandatory. Their approach would probably emphasize voluntary participation in civic duties over compulsory military involvement.

Agree

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

This suggestion aligns somewhat with Volt UK's focus on education and skill development. However, the compulsory nature of the service might still be at odds with their principles of freedom and voluntary participation, even if the focus is more aligned with their goals.

Disagree

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

While Volt UK might see the value in encouraging young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) to engage in meaningful activities, they would likely oppose making military service the compulsory means to this end, preferring voluntary and educational approaches.

Strongly disagree

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

Mandatory military service for those starting to build a criminal record would likely be viewed by Volt UK as punitive and not in line with progressive values of rehabilitation and social inclusion. They would probably advocate for more constructive and voluntary forms of social engagement.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a progressive and pro-European political entity, is likely to prioritize voluntary engagement and personal freedom over mandatory military service. Their policies tend to emphasize education, innovation, and social cohesion, which do not align with compulsory military service.

Very strongly disagree

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

Extending mandatory service to two years would be even more contrary to Volt UK's values of individual freedom, voluntary service, and a focus on education and innovation. Such a policy would likely be seen as regressive and counterproductive to their vision for society.
