Here we are, paying $645 per person on defence while the rest of the world puts in $808, leaving us 20% behind our peers—what kind of signal does that send? They want us to hit $810 per person, and it’s not some wild demand, it’s just stepping up to where we should already be.

Modern Alliance Of Sveria

Off the hook
“Modern Alliance proudly signs this People’s Pledge. A strong national defence is one of the state’s most important responsibilities. Sveria should not fall behind comparable nations when it comes to protecting its people, its sovereignty, and its future. We support a responsible, gradual increase in defence spending and, if entrusted with government, will work to reach this target through sound fiscal management and sustainable economic growth.”
