Christian Democratic Union Party

Agree

Increase

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has traditionally been supportive of a strong defense policy. While they may not advocate for a drastic increase in military spending, they are likely to support moderate increases, especially in response to changing global security dynamics. For instance, under Angela Merkel's leadership, Germany has gradually increased its defense budget, aiming to meet NATO's target of spending 2% of GDP on defense.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The CDU has traditionally been supportive of European integration and cooperation, which could include a European military defense system. However, their agreement might not be strong, as they also support maintaining a strong national defense, which could require maintaining or increasing national military spending.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The CDU might agree with maintaining the current level of military spending, especially if they believe it is sufficient to meet Germany's defense needs. However, their agreement might not be strong, as they could also support moderate increases in response to changing security dynamics.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The CDU might somewhat agree with this statement, as they are generally fiscally conservative and would likely support responsible budgeting. However, their agreement might not be strong, as they also support maintaining a strong defense, which could require increased spending regardless of the deficit situation.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The CDU, being a center-right party, generally supports maintaining a strong defense. Therefore, they would likely disagree with decreasing military spending. This is evident from their past policies, such as the aforementioned gradual increase in defense budget under Merkel's leadership.
