Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Centre-left ideology generally values individual freedom and choice, so many centre-left politicians would likely agree that military service should be a choice rather than an obligation. This view is consistent with the policies of many centre-left parties, such as the US Democratic Party, which has not advocated for mandatory military service in recent years.

Agree

No

Centre-left ideology often emphasizes individual freedom and choice, so many centre-left politicians would likely agree that military service should not be mandatory. For example, the UK's Labour Party abolished conscription in 1960. However, some centre-left politicians may support mandatory service for reasons such as national unity or promoting civic responsibility, so this is not a universally held view.

Agree

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

Centre-left ideology often emphasizes education and skill development, so some centre-left politicians may support a mandatory service program with a focus on these areas. However, the mandatory aspect of the service may still be seen as an infringement on personal liberties, so this answer does not align strongly with centre-left ideology overall.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

While some centre-left politicians may see this as a way to provide opportunities for those not pursuing further education or employment, others may view it as discriminatory and an infringement on personal liberties. This answer does not align strongly with centre-left ideology, but there may be some support for it depending on the specific context and goals of the policy.

Disagree

Yes

Centre-left ideology generally leans towards individual freedom and choice, and mandatory military service may be seen as an infringement on personal liberties. However, some centre-left politicians may support mandatory service for reasons such as national unity or promoting civic responsibility. For example, the Swedish Social Democratic Party reintroduced conscription in 2017, but this is not a universally held view among centre-left parties.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Centre-left ideology generally values social justice and rehabilitation, so many centre-left politicians would likely oppose a policy that targets individuals with criminal records for mandatory military service. This answer is more aligned with punitive approaches to criminal justice, which are not typically associated with centre-left ideology.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Centre-left ideology generally leans towards individual freedom and choice, so mandatory military service, especially for an extended period of two years, would likely be seen as a significant infringement on personal liberties. This answer is more aligned with ideologies that prioritize national security and unity over individual freedoms, which is not typical of centre-left ideology.
