| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Libertarian Party fully supports article 1,5 and 9. However, the other articles form a basis for a government that regulates the economy too heavily and wherein it has no say about its military. Essentially it strengthens its grip internally but weakens its grip externally. This is a very dangerous trend. The Libertarian Party believes that Rutania should have a small government, which does not regulate the economy too heavily and it should have a military ready to defend Rutania when necessary. Now the (para)military is given almost complete autonomy and that sets a dangerous precedent. Brannon Anderson, Leader Libertarian Party |
