Bill: Anarch Anakrousite Reform Bill - Fitness to Defend
Details
Submitted by[?]: Commonwealth Workers Army
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: January 2117
Description[?]:
| The AAP believes that Likatonia balances it's well-being in the hands of market forces, to too great an extent. While we fully support and endorse freedom of market forces, there are some areas where it may be better to allow the government to shoulder SOME of the responsibility. For example, where National Security is on the line. The AAP suggests that certain key areas of the defence industry be placed in the hands of not-for-profit agencies, regulated directly by government departments. These are NOT intended to utterly displace private defence facilities, but, instead, to reinforce and support them. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The nation's defence industry.
Old value:: Defence industries are privately owned and not subsidised.
Current: The state owns all defence industries.
Proposed: The state owns national defence industries but these exist alongside privately owned defence industries.

| Message | We normally support nationalisation. However in this case we are wary of doing so as this will give far more funding to our military when we feel the money would be far better spent elsewhere. Allowing the continuation of private industries means the government will have no extra CONTROL over the industry, so this seems essentially to be a funding bill. |

| Message | The AAP appreciates LPE concerns, but feels there is a security risk here that must be addressed. In placing ALL the national defence in the hands of private operators, Likatonia places it's safety in the hands of independents. Likatonia pays those independent orgainisations for their defence services, which means the government 'calls the shots'. However, if ALL of our defence is tendered out to the lowest bidder, what happens if another power makes a better offer? The AAP believes we should try not to have ALL our eggs in one basket. As it is, we are 'funding' the private agencies, anyway, by paying for their services. The AAP merely believes we should apply SOME of that money 'directly', to a government defence intitiative. |

| Message | Again, to the vote... note to the LPE: we hope we may have allayed some of your fears with our previous response. |
