Let's take a minute to try to understand.
SDP has been proposing cuts in defence budget and steadily increasing that percentage as well.
In 2011, they proposed a 20% cut. In 2015, it became 50% !!
If proposing defence budget cut is not bad enough in the face of increased threats and increased defence spending elsewhere in the region and the world, they also proposed increasing the allowance of full-time National Servicemen to a minimum of $1200.
So on the one hand they propose cuts in defence budget.
On the other hand they propose an increase in defence spending through increased allowance.
Can you do that Math?
For the SDP the mathematics is not important. Being populist is more important.
