Historically, they have emphasized the importance of supporting developing countries and contributing to global development goals.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

While the PS is likely to support the principle of ensuring that foreign aid does not go to countries with human rights violations, they might also argue for a nuanced approach that considers the needs of vulnerable populations in those countries. Thus, their agreement might not be as strong as with a blanket increase in aid.

Slightly agree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the PS might be open to maintaining current levels of foreign aid spending, their overall inclination towards supporting international development suggests a preference for increasing rather than merely sustaining current spending levels.

Neutral

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

While the PS is likely to oppose terrorism and support measures to combat it, they might view the blanket denial of aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism as too simplistic. They could prefer a more targeted approach that considers the complexities of international relations and the potential for aid to support positive change.

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Although fiscal responsibility is a concern for any political party, the PS's prioritization of international development assistance suggests they would not strongly agree with decreasing foreign aid solely for the purpose of reducing the national budget deficit.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Given the PS's general stance on international aid and cooperation, it is unlikely they would support a decrease in foreign aid spending. Their policies typically focus on strengthening international partnerships and supporting development projects.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

The PS's commitment to international solidarity and cooperation makes it highly unlikely that they would support a policy of not giving foreign aid to any countries. Such a stance would contradict their historical and ideological positions on global development and humanitarian assistance.
