ChatGPT

Strongly agree

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

This position aligns closely with ALDE's emphasis on human rights and the rule of law. They would likely support increasing aid for countries that respect human rights, as it aligns with their principles of promoting democracy and liberal values globally. However, the score is not a full 5 because they might also consider the complexity of international relations and the potential need for engagement even with countries that have issues, to encourage improvements.

Agree

Increase

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports the idea of the European Union playing a strong role in global development and humanitarian aid. They believe in the principles of liberalism, which include supporting democracy, human rights, and the rule of law worldwide. Increasing foreign aid spending aligns with these principles, especially in promoting global stability and prosperity. However, the score is not a full 5 because their support might be conditional on ensuring that aid is effectively used and contributes to sustainable development.

Agree

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

ALDE's commitment to fighting terrorism and promoting security might make them somewhat receptive to the idea of denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism. However, their liberal values also emphasize the importance of diplomacy, engagement, and addressing the root causes of terrorism, which might make them cautious about broad restrictions on aid that could harm civilian populations or undermine long-term stability.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While ALDE supports the use of foreign aid to promote global development and stability, their position on whether the current amount of spending is appropriate without more context is unclear. They might argue for a review of current spending to ensure effectiveness and alignment with strategic goals rather than a blanket satisfaction with the status quo.

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

While fiscal responsibility is a concern for many political parties, including ALDE, the idea of decreasing foreign aid specifically to reduce the national budget deficit might not align well with their broader goals of promoting global stability and prosperity. They would likely argue for a balanced approach that considers the importance of foreign aid in achieving these goals alongside fiscal responsibility.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

ALDE's principles of supporting global democracy, human rights, and economic development through liberal policies suggest a strong disagreement with decreasing foreign aid spending. They likely view foreign aid as an investment in global stability and prosperity, which in turn benefits the EU. Decreasing foreign aid would contradict their commitment to these liberal values and their belief in the EU's role as a global leader in development and humanitarian efforts.

Very strongly disagree

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

ALDE's liberal ideology, which emphasizes global cooperation, democracy, and human rights, would strongly oppose the idea of not giving foreign aid to any countries. Such a stance would be antithetical to their values and their belief in the EU's role in supporting global development and humanitarian efforts.
