Bill: Defence Industry and Export Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Nationalist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2440
Description[?]:
| We believe that private ownership of the Defence Industries is open to major corruption, these people carry much influence over the government and this could lead to them pushing for their own agendas so that they can keep making money. These people could push the government to take part in wars that we should not be involved in. |

| Message | We strongly support Article Two, but can't support Article One since it creates a government defense industry monopoly. We would rather see a mix of state-owned and privately-owned defense industries. |
