Strongly agree

Decrease

Anti-austerity supporters typically advocate for decreased military spending in favor of investing in social programs, education, and healthcare. For instance, in the UK, the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership called for reduced military spending and increased investment in public services.

Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system could potentially lead to more efficient use of resources and reduced military spending for individual countries. However, anti-austerity supporters might still prefer to see funds directed towards social programs rather than defense, even if it is a more efficient system.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Anti-austerity ideology generally seeks to redirect funds from military spending to social programs, so maintaining the current level of spending would not align with their goals. However, this score is not as low as increasing spending, as it does not actively worsen the situation from their perspective.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While reducing the deficit is a goal that anti-austerity supporters might agree with, they would still oppose increasing military spending afterward. They would prefer to use any available funds to invest in social programs and public services rather than defense.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Anti-austerity ideology generally opposes increasing military spending, as it prioritizes social welfare and public services over defense. For example, during the 2015 Greek debt crisis, the anti-austerity party Syriza opposed further military spending and sought to redirect funds towards social programs.
