Strongly agree

Increase

The Swiss People's Party (SVP) generally supports a strong national defense and has historically advocated for maintaining or increasing military spending. For example, in 2014, the SVP opposed a referendum to abolish conscription, arguing that it would weaken Switzerland's defense capabilities.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The SVP might agree with this answer to some extent, as they have a history of advocating for fiscal responsibility. However, their primary focus is on maintaining a strong national defense, so they may not prioritize reducing the deficit over increasing military spending.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the SVP may be satisfied with the current level of military spending, they have shown a preference for increasing spending to ensure a strong national defense. Their support for maintaining or increasing military spending suggests that they might not be entirely satisfied with the current level.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The SVP is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending, as they have consistently advocated for a strong national defense. Their opposition to the 2014 referendum to abolish conscription demonstrates their commitment to maintaining Switzerland's military capabilities.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The Swiss People's Party is known for its nationalist and Eurosceptic stance, which makes it unlikely that they would support the creation of a European military defense system. They have consistently advocated for Swiss sovereignty and independence, and would likely view such a system as a threat to Switzerland's autonomy.
