Aid spending as it is currently organised is deep flawed, but more should be done to aid impoverished nations and those suffering from genocide and humanitarian crises (Palestine, Sudan, Congo, etc)

 @9ZJFHZ3Social Democratsanswered…5mos5MO

Increase, but rework foreign aid to invest directly in the construction of infrastructure and jobs overseas rather than handing money to foreign governments or individuals.

 @9ZH9GDKSocial Democratsanswered…5mos5MO

I am ok with current spending, but aid shouldn't be given to countries that have broken international law

 @9YN486Qanswered…5mos5MO

Decrease to those countries that promote terrorism and violate human rights but increase to those countries struggling in poverty, health and water.

 @9N4G4JM answered…11mos11MO

Decrease, foreign aid should be used for long-term programs which benefit the individuals and not the government.

 @9MJF536answered…11mos11MO

We should provide aid to peoples movements in other countries that are committed to the empowerment of the working class.

 @9ZCTZV6answered…5mos5MO

It should remain the same, but that money should be focused on only being given to schemes that are beneficial long term and not short term solutions with later negative results. Eg. Giving money to schemes that provide food to areas but employing people from that area to grow, make and handout that food, instead of buying cheap grain elsewhere and sending it to them.

Decrease until homeless crisis decreases, but we shoukd increase once we have a balance

 @97PZ24Hanswered…2yrs2Y

Aid should be given to countries in need but be highly regulated to ensure it gets to the right people and where it’s most beneficial. Also it should be used in a way that encourages self reliance.

 @978QXVSanswered…2yrs2Y

I think it would be good in theory but I'm unsure I it is financially feasible.

 @93PVXNZanswered…3yrs3Y

Increase but rather than just giving money to corrupt governments we should directly fund the building of hospitals, schools ect.

 @8RS9W8Sanswered…4yrs4Y

Decrease because you should look after your own national problems first

 @8J2LNT2answered…4yrs4Y

 @8DQ9ZDZanswered…5yrs5Y

I'm satisfied with the current amount but limit it to countries that have no human rights violations

 @8DJ7DHHanswered…5yrs5Y

Keep the level of foreign aid the same, but redistribute it to exclude countries with human rights violations, or where there is evidence of a country's government misusing aid money.

 @8S8KVGKanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes we do need to increase foreign aid spending but we need to drastically reduce our national budget deficit & we need to Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism
