Bill: Weapon exportation (2nd try)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Peoples Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Why risk the change of getting hanged with your own rope? We should stop the trading of weapons with nations that are not closely allied with us. Why should we sell weapons to nations that later can become enemies or will sell our weapons to terrorists? Especially when dealing with nations that one day is militaristic and expanding and the other day imperalistic fascists? Shouldn't we stop this sale? |

| Message | "Why should we sell weapons to nations that later can become enemies or will sell our weapons to terrorists?" - And why can't our allies do that? Take a look at the Endralon situation; they would have been allies but they went against us. A case-by-case situation gives us total control on what ams go to whom. It allows us to deal with allies and with others who we feel the profit out weighs any risks that they would use them against us. |

| Message | This is why i call for no international bargains ruling over the hobrazian people, but by implementing this, the law will only be allowed if there is broad backing among the paliament, that the majority in the past or at present calls this an ally. By a case by case situation it is the government, and thereby the at the time sitting defenceminister and foreign minister who decide who to trade with. This is to ensure control over the weapon exportation by the parliament. I would actually think that UB could see the sense in this, if CPoH or myself became foreign minister or Defence minister. :-) |
