Closed Increase the defence budget and our standing army strength to 100,000

Closed on

The Government should review the budget again, and find ways to increase the defence budget, and our standing army strength to 100,000.

This could include higher taxation for big businesses, cutting foreign aid, or even ask the public if they would support a tax increase for the armed services exclusively.

The British public have a long and proud relationship with our armed service's and we demand they receive the correct budget to stay one step in front of our enemies, and that Britain remains a powerful country on the world stage and not end up a 3rd rate nation with nothing more than a defence force.
