Description[?]:
| Local Police forces may not be able to deal with extreme situations like riots terrorism and maybe natural disasters. That's why the Military should be able to come to the polices Aid in the event of a national emergency...

| Message | The government controls the police and military but currently they cannot work together. Each represent a rather sizeable coercive force on their own. Combined with a powermad lunatic at the helm, who knows what could happen? Say we change the laws regarding freedom of assembly to the point where public gatherings can be broken up for any reason (presumably under the guise of "public safety" and claiming legitimate protesters are "rioting"). Further say the military and police are effectively one force in domestic matters. Who could stand up against that? At least as it stands now we can wave a couple of pieces of paper in front of potential lunatics that will hopefully contain said lunatics. That's what's wrong with this proposal. |

| Message | In total agreement with the Orange Party. Being from a party thats been on the recieving end of repression in the past, we know the dangers of laws that concentratestate repressive powers, especially when these are taken under the control of "said lunatics" |
