| Message | We see this bill as a total disgrace for the safety of our nation. Whilst we disagree with articles 2 and 3, we can understand them on ideological and moral grounds. Article 4 we merely see as dangerous for the continuation of our military by placing too much emphasis and reliance on the private sector whilst using public money to support private business. This is a waste. Even article 1, though flawed, we can understand (though we question where this "other" court will come from). However, Article 5 is endangering this nation at a level which can only be described as mind-boggling. A part time military? We are a nation of almost 100m people. We have a growing economy. We have been world leaders in trade and industry, as well as assisting to provide international security, and you expect us to operate a part time military? This wanton abandonment of government responsibility is staggering. |

| Message | You and the Liberty Party promote the right to use military to destroy the liberty of other nations. We are not meant to be nationalistic. The militate should be used to promote peace for nations being oppressed, and it is to protect our vulnerable citizens who cannot fight for themselves. The fact that you want a bigger military budget shows that you do not like peace. You hope for the opportunity of war so you can be justified in military actions leading to economic gains. Our party will not associate ourselves with economic gains with dishonest and hateful measures. We will not support weapon usage that is unfair and over destructive. The best war is the one where no one dies, and preventing death and moral failure is our party's central goals. |
