Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The VVD might agree with maintaining the current level of military spending, especially if they believe that the current budget is sufficient to meet the country's defense needs. However, this would also depend on the specific circumstances and threats at the time.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While the VVD is fiscally conservative and would likely support reducing the deficit, they may not agree with tying military spending to deficit reduction. They might argue that defense spending should be determined by security needs, not fiscal considerations.

Neutral

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The VVD has a mixed stance on European integration. While they support the EU in general, they may be wary of ceding too much national sovereignty to a European military defense system. However, they might also see the potential benefits of such a system in terms of shared defense costs and increased security.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The VVD is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending. As a center-right party, they typically favor strong defense and security measures. Reducing military spending could be seen as weakening the Netherlands' defense capabilities, which would be against the party's general stance.
