| Message | We would have voted for the "The state owns national defence industries but these exist alongside privately owned defence industries" one, if it were just to have been proposed separately. (Our own preference on that issue is further in the same direction: "The state owns all defence industries.") But the other articles here cause us to vote against this bill. |
