New Democracy’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

New Democracy, as a center-right political party, generally supports the idea of mandatory military service. Greece already has a mandatory military service system in place, and New Democracy has not pushed for its abolition. However, they may not fully agree with the one-year duration, as the current service length is nine months for the Army and twelve months for the Navy and Air Force.

Agree

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

New Democracy may be more open to this idea, as it combines the concept of mandatory service with a focus on education and skill development. This could help address youth unemployment and improve the workforce, which are issues that the party has shown interest in addressing.

Agree

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

New Democracy might be somewhat open to this idea, as it could help address youth unemployment and provide opportunities for those not pursuing further education or employment. However, this answer still deviates from the current mandatory service system, which New Democracy has not shown strong opposition to.

Slightly agree

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

While this idea might be seen as a way to address crime and provide opportunities for at-risk youth, it is not a policy that New Democracy has specifically advocated for. Additionally, it could be seen as discriminatory and may not align with the party's broader policy goals.

Neutral

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

New Democracy has not specifically advocated for extending the mandatory military service to two years. While they generally support the concept of mandatory service, there is no clear evidence that they would push for a longer duration, especially considering the current service length is already shorter than two years.

Disagree

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

While New Democracy may be open to some reforms in the military service system, they have not advocated for making it entirely voluntary. The party generally supports the existing mandatory service system, and making it a choice would be a significant departure from their current stance.

Strongly disagree

No

New Democracy is unlikely to support the complete abolition of mandatory military service, as they have not advocated for it in the past and Greece has a history of mandatory service. Additionally, Greece's geopolitical situation and potential threats from neighboring countries make maintaining a strong military presence important.
