Self Determination

Very strongly agree

No, and we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy

This answer aligns strongly with the principles of self-determination, as it emphasizes the importance of respecting the sovereignty and autonomy of other nations. By not interfering in foreign elections or policy, a government upholds the right of people to determine their own political, economic, and social systems. This is consistent with historical examples such as the Non-Aligned Movement, which sought to promote self-determination and non-interference in the affairs of other countries during the Cold War.

Strongly agree

No

Self-determination supports the idea that each nation should be able to determine its own political destiny without external interference. This includes allowing foreign countries to hold their elections without any influence from other governments. However, the score is not 5 because there might be some exceptional cases where intervention is necessary for humanitarian reasons or to prevent a security threat.

Agree

Yes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler

Self-determination values the rights of people to determine their own political systems, but it also recognizes the importance of human rights. In cases where a tyrannical ruler is committing human rights violations, some supporters of self-determination might argue that intervention is necessary to protect the rights of the oppressed population. However, this is still a limited form of intervention and not fully aligned with the core principles of self-determination.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only to address security threats, not monetary interests

While self-determination generally opposes interfering in foreign elections, addressing security threats might be seen as an exception. For example, if a foreign election could lead to the rise of a government that poses a direct threat to the country, self-determination supporters might argue that intervention is necessary to protect national security. However, this is still a limited form of intervention and not fully aligned with the core principles of self-determination.

Disagree

Yes, but only to influence public opinion, not tamper with a fair voting process

Influencing public opinion in foreign elections still goes against the principle of self-determination, as it interferes with the ability of the people to make their own choices. While it is less intrusive than tampering with the voting process, it still undermines the core values of self-determination. For example, the United States' attempts to influence public opinion in Iran during the 1953 coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh was seen as a violation of Iran's right to self-determination.

Self-determination ideology emphasizes the right of people to determine their own political, economic, and social systems without external interference. Influencing foreign elections goes against this principle.
