Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The Labour Party may be somewhat satisfied with the current amount of military spending, as they have not made significant changes to defense spending since taking office in 2017. They have supported some increases in defense spending, such as the 2019 Defence Capability Plan, but have not made it a primary focus.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The Labour Party may somewhat agree with this statement, as they have shown a willingness to increase military spending but also prioritize reducing the deficit and investing in other areas. For example, they have committed to maintaining a responsible fiscal policy and reducing government debt while also investing in defense capabilities.

Slightly agree

Increase

The Labour Party may slightly agree with increasing military spending, but it is not a primary focus for them. Historically, they have been more focused on social and economic issues, such as healthcare, education, and housing. However, they have supported some increases in defense spending, such as the 2019 Defence Capability Plan, which outlined NZD 20 billion in investments over 10 years.

Disagree

Decrease

The Labour Party is not likely to strongly advocate for decreasing military spending, as they have supported some increases in defense spending in the past. However, they may prioritize other areas of spending, such as social services and infrastructure, over military spending.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The Labour Party would strongly disagree with this statement, as it is not relevant to New Zealand. A European military defense system would not directly impact New Zealand's defense capabilities or spending, as New Zealand is not part of Europe and has its own defense relationships, such as the Australia, New Zealand, and United States (ANZUS) security treaty.
