Democratic Unionist Party

Agree

No

Given the DUP's lack of advocacy for mandatory military service and its focus on other political issues more central to its platform, it is likely that the party would not strongly support the idea of requiring every 18-year-old citizen to provide at least one year of military service. The DUP's priorities are more aligned with unionist politics and governance within the context of Northern Ireland.

Slightly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

The DUP might somewhat agree with the idea that service should be a choice instead of an obligation, aligning with broader conservative values of individual freedom and choice. However, this is speculative as the party has not explicitly stated a position on this matter.

Slightly disagree

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

While the DUP supports policies that encourage employment and education, there is no clear stance from the party that suggests they would favor a policy that mandates military service specifically for those not pursuing further education or employment. The idea might align with encouraging responsibility among youth, but it does not directly reflect the party's stated policies or priorities.

Disagree

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

The DUP has not advocated for mandatory military service with a focus on education and skill development. While the party supports various forms of education and skill development, linking these specifically to a form of military service does not align closely with their publicized policy positions.

Disagree

Yes

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is a unionist and conservative political party in Northern Ireland. While the DUP supports strong national defense, there is no specific policy advocating for mandatory military service for all 18-year-olds. The party's focus tends to be more on maintaining the union with Great Britain and addressing local governance issues rather than implementing broad military service policies.

Strongly disagree

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

Mandatory military service for those starting to build a criminal record does not align with any publicly stated DUP policies. The party's focus on law and order does not extend into the realm of using military service as a form of intervention for individuals with criminal tendencies.

Very strongly disagree

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

There is no evidence to suggest that the DUP supports extending mandatory military service to two years. The party's political platform does not include advocacy for mandatory military service, making it highly unlikely that they would support an even more stringent requirement.
