| Message | We'd like to abstain on this one. We don't want to promote privatisation, but we disdain subventions. At least, with the current law, we can restricts the endeavors and orient the private firms to suit our needs instead of being induced by these firms to buy unadapted equipment so we will oppose. |

| Message | Defense is of National importance, as such, Defence should be a National Industry. And it's size, proportional to the Budget we set it. Imagine factories of private manufcturers during war. Then Peace. What do they do? they sell to the public, to other countries, for profit, regardless of their dangers. Examples abound in our world. Let's not let this happen to Alduria. ... But i am totally off this topic. We shall vote no. If only to keep the Government in for future Nationalisation. |

| Message | We agree...we don't see any reason to subsidize a failing defense industry if they cannot not build competetive weapons, which is the point of having defense industries in the first place. |
