National Party

Agree

Yes

The National Party, being center-right, generally supports a pragmatic approach to foreign policy and trade, including arms sales. They might agree with restrictions on government arms sales to countries accused of committing human rights violations to some extent, especially if it aligns with international norms and New Zealand's image as a proponent of human rights. However, their commitment to national security and international alliances could temper their enthusiasm for broad restrictions.

Slightly agree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

The National Party might somewhat agree with this stance, as it aligns with their emphasis on national security, defense, and maintaining strong international alliances. They would be concerned about the implications of restricting arms sales on New Zealand's ability to support its allies. However, their agreement might be tempered by the party's recognition of the importance of human rights and the potential for backlash from both domestic and international communities.

Slightly disagree

No

While the National Party values New Zealand's international relationships and defense commitments, they are unlikely to fully support a stance that completely opposes restrictions on arms sales to countries accused of human rights violations. Their moderate position would recognize the complexity of international relations and the potential need for strategic alliances, but they would be cautious about endorsing a policy that could be seen as ignoring human rights issues.

Disagree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

The National Party, with its center-right ideology, is likely to view a total ban on sales to countries with human rights violations as too extreme and potentially harmful to New Zealand's strategic interests and international relations. They would probably argue that such a policy could limit New Zealand's flexibility in foreign policy and defense matters.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

A ban on all military aid to any foreign countries would likely be seen by the National Party as overly isolationist and detrimental to New Zealand's defense and foreign policy interests. The party values New Zealand's alliances and the ability to engage in defense cooperation, including military aid, as a means of maintaining national security and international stability.
