| Message | Why spoil a free market which is already successful and innovative? With this logic we should also nationalise computer companies and games arcades! Of course, the recent move to ban genetic research points to the dark logic truly behind this. We will see how the voters respond. |

| Message | 1) he Marquis' claims about the successful free market seem quite baseless to Alliance 44 as no correct methods of measuring this are available at the moment. A44 believe certain strategic areas of the defence industry (like nuclear ones) must be kept under strict government control in the future while allowing the research and production of weaponry to private firms too. 2) Alliance 44 would support a bill allowing genetic research and the growing of GM crops under strick regulation.
