| Message | Ioannes Lombas official statement: "I LIKE *SELLING* WEAPONS FOR FUN" Party policy: "Arms prove to be a lucrative industry for the government, and comes in handy in war times (when arms industries are nationalised anyway), so we do not see the need to privatise that sector completely. The government does what it wants, and so does the private sector. Everyone happy." |

| Message | Public owned arms industries demand government aid. They always argue that they need money to invest in new technologies, but the truth is that they need it to maintain huge bureucracy. So we are in favor with this bill. |
