Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The LDP might agree with this answer to some extent, as they are generally in favor of fiscal responsibility. However, their recent actions of increasing military spending despite Japan's significant public debt suggest that they prioritize defense spending over deficit reduction.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the LDP may be somewhat satisfied with the current level of military spending, they have shown a preference for increasing it in recent years. This score reflects that they might not be completely opposed to maintaining the current level, but their actions suggest they would prefer an increase.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The LDP is generally not in favor of decreasing military spending, as they believe in maintaining a strong defense posture to address regional security challenges. Their stance on increasing military spending in recent years supports this view.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The LDP would strongly disagree with this answer, as it suggests creating a European military defense system instead of focusing on Japan's own defense capabilities. The LDP is more concerned with regional security issues in East Asia and maintaining a strong Self-Defense Force for Japan.
