More powers to the police, to control illegal asswemblies and to strengthen domestic security near the border. A prevention of secondary strike action. We propose this temporarily, and will happily see it repealed once the current conflict is resolved. A stronger National Service movement. Our citiznes need to ba able to be called upon, whether to protect Liktonian interest, or preserve the internation good.
