| Message | We too will support this proposal. The existence of these mercenaries is quite frightening. |

| Message | We will support this. |

| Message | "Privately owned defence industries" refers to companies that produce the equipment, tools, etc that the military uses. It has nothing to do with mercenaries. As everyone can see in the military section, we have a fully standing army, navy, and air force comprised of citizens that provides for the defense of the country. Anyone confusing private companies producing products for the military and using private companies to staff the armed forces are confusing apples for oranges (at best). |

| Message | Even so, we are against the production of arms within the borders of Mordusia. In reference to our previous comment, we apologise as it seems we made assumptions. Still, we, the WLP believe that our production of weapons could have repercussions in neighbouring countries. These private companies could easily sell arms to militia, mercenaries and terrorists. Therefore we should support the passing of this bill even if it does damage the private sector. |

| Message | This is a disaster of a bill for our economy domestically and in a global environment. Also, in response to WLP, our country has standing law against the export and/ or sale of arms to anyone but close allies. |
| Date | 02:16:20, January 07, 2016 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Military De-privatisation |
| Message | Sorry, we should have checked the current legislation regarding the export and sale of arms. With this new knowledge we have to agree with the NDFM. |
