Fine Gael Party

Strongly agree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

This option aligns closely with Fine Gael's values of personal freedom and responsibility, reflecting the party's broader approach to governance that favors choice over compulsion. The emphasis on voluntary service is consistent with Ireland's existing defense forces structure, which is professional and volunteer-based.

Agree

No

Fine Gael would likely lean towards agreeing with this statement, given the party's emphasis on individual freedoms and choice in line with its liberal-conservative ideology. The party has not pursued policies that would impose mandatory military service, suggesting a preference for voluntary service in line with Ireland's current defense strategy.

Slightly agree

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

Fine Gael might be somewhat open to this idea, as it incorporates elements of education and skill development, which are in line with the party's focus on economic development and job creation. However, the mandatory aspect of military service would likely be a point of contention.

Disagree

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

While Fine Gael supports pathways to employment and education, the party is unlikely to support a policy that mandates military service based on education or employment status, as it could be seen as punitive and contrary to the party's liberal-conservative principles that prioritize individual choice.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Fine Gael, as a centre-right, pro-European political party in Ireland, has not advocated for mandatory military service, reflecting a broader European trend away from conscription. Ireland's defense policy emphasizes a professional and volunteer-based military force, aligning with Fine Gael's support for individual choice and market-based solutions over compulsory state mandates.

Strongly disagree

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

Extending mandatory military service to two years would be contrary to Fine Gael's principles of individual freedom and the professional, volunteer nature of Ireland's defense forces. The party has not shown support for policies that would significantly increase the state's demands on its citizens in this manner.

Very strongly disagree

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

This proposal would likely be strongly opposed by Fine Gael, as it could be viewed as discriminatory and counterproductive to the party's efforts in criminal justice reform and social inclusion. Fine Gael has focused on rehabilitation and social integration rather than punitive measures for those with criminal records.
