UK PM Rishi Sunak vows to bring back compulsory National Service if he wins ge

The United Kingdom's Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, announced that they would bring back mandatory national service if it wins the upcoming general election.

The party added that 18-year-olds would be offered the choice of either joining the military full-time, or volunteering one weekend every month to carry out a community service, BBC reported.

Joining the military full-time would entail a 12-month placement in the armed forces or UK cyber defence, where they will learn about logistics, cyber security, procurement or civil response operations.

Volunteering one weekend every month, or 25 days per year, would allow youths to participate in their community through organisations such as fire brigade, police force or the National Health Service (NHS).

It is unknown how long the community service engagement will last.

A royal commission would be set up to design the new programme, and a pilot programme would be open for applications in September 2025.

It would be backed in law by a National Service Act, The Guardian reported.
