| Message | (1) We STRONGLY support this proposal b/c the State owned defense companies would create compeition with the private defense industries, thus LOWERING the cost of military equipment. (2) We are ADAMANTLY opposed b/c the Commonwealh of Rutania is NOT a "police state." The job of the military is to "Fight and win war therefore prevent it from happening." (3) NO, NO, NO!!! a draft that FORCES the citizens of this great Commonwealth to serve or do anything against their WILL such as military service is equal to that of slavery. We would support, though, a military draft of prisoners currently serving either Life imprisonment or Death row. |

| Message | In response to (2), I do not understand why this is such a bad thing, if the police needs back up in the event of a disastrous riot they will need the military support. In response to (3), I see what you are saying but we need all the power we can muster to fight against any enemies of the state. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
