Agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Agree

No

Given the ECR's focus on individual liberty and national sovereignty, they might support the idea that military service should not be mandatory, aligning with the belief that citizens should have the freedom to choose their own paths, including whether or not to serve in the military.

Slightly agree

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

The ECR might see some value in a program that focuses on education and skill development, recognizing the importance of preparing young people for the workforce. However, their support would likely be tempered by concerns over mandatory participation.

Neutral

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

While the ECR supports policies that encourage employment and education, they might view this conditional approach to military service as too prescriptive and not in line with their broader principles of individual choice and national sovereignty.

Disagree

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

While the ECR is concerned with law and order, they might view targeting individuals starting to build a criminal record for mandatory military service as problematic, potentially conflicting with principles of justice and individual rights.

Disagree

Yes

The European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECR) generally supports national sovereignty and defense but tends to favor voluntary military service over compulsory conscription. Their emphasis on individual freedoms and skepticism towards one-size-fits-all policies from the EU would likely make them lean against mandatory military service for all.

Strongly disagree

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

Extending mandatory military service to at least two years would likely be seen by the ECR as an excessive government imposition on individual freedoms and a deviation from their support for voluntary service and national sovereignty.
