Wayne Mapp: Former Defence Minister says Rishi Sunak's mandatory national service plan is a misstep

The UK Prime Minister's proposed mandatory national service is being called a misstep. If re-elected on July 4, the Conservative Party will make 18-year-olds participate for 12 months in a military placement or one weekend a month of community service. Former New Zealand Defence Minister Wayne Mapp told Mike Hosking the roughly $5 billion plan is the wrong approach. He doubts it will be a vote winner, and says they should focus on incentives to volunteer for service. The Tories haven't said what they'll do if the compulsory service is not completed.
