Consumer And Worker Protection Act of 2023
Rationale
It is imperative that the minimum wage allows people to comfortably survive, and that consumers cannot be exploited by big businesses cutting corners on products. These laws address both of these changes at virtually no cost to the economy.

| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cashmen | 14 | No | the Rational is to small and so is the reasoning behind htings for this. |
| Centrist Zone | 21 | No | We respectfully decline to vote "Yes." While the intention behind raising the minimum wage is noble, economic realities suggest that such a policy will ultimately harm the very citizens it aims to protect. A higher minimum wage can cause price inflation, affecting consumers and those diminishing purchasing power. Moreover, most firms would simply retrench workers to save cost. While a higher minimum wage can be an idealistic scenario, it will increase unemployment, decrease productivity and make our economy unsustainable. |
| Democratic Group Proposer | 37 | Yes | No reason given |
| National Conservative Movement | 0 | No | We agree with the second one, the first one is not what we need right now. |
