Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, In times of economic and social instability and recession, there is time for visionary change, to reduce bureaucracy, maximize efficiency, better quality for lower cost and handing over more responsibilities to the civil society. We have an idea that might sound radical, but that we are ascertained will save billions of DRA for the Dranish taxpayer. Let's blur the line between the police and the military. The Good wants to privatize both, and to legalize paramilitaries, but there isn't really much need of making a difference between the two. There isn't much difference, after all, they are hired to do violence by the government, no matter socialized or privatized, no matter called military or police. Let the same security teams offer us both military and police services, if they want. Freedom is freedom, after all. Nour Dúneth The Good Justice Spokeswoman and Maugrim Saang The Good Defence Spokesman |
