A question about new conscription policy: still basically voluntary? (leddit.danmark.party)

I'm interested in the new conscription policy being proposed.

From what I've read, women would be required to register for the lottery and service would be extended to 11 months.

My current understanding is that conscription in Denmark is basically voluntary. If you say you don't want to do it, they won't pick you? How exactly does that work if there's a lottery?

And would that change with the new policy?

thanks for explaining.

4 to 11 months is a big change! do you think the law will pass?

It's hard to say, they may have to adjust it depending on how negotiations go.

thanks for talking to me about this. what is your opinion of conscription in general? do you think it's actually necessary?

It's has been 12 months earlier.. like back in 2005-ish. So, there have been some years with peace and now it's new times.

Yes. The government holds the majority in parliament. It might get some small adjustments, but by and large, if the current government says something will become law, they'll already have talked it out amongst themselves, and so it will become law.
