Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Amish League	15	No	Article 4 is acceptable. Article 3 we dislike but we have no true quarrel with it. However, Articles 1 and 2 take away two core aspects of the Amish society, which is our community values and the ability to caneth a naughty child who makes the wrong decision in regards to Rumspringa. Naughty legislators, trying to take away our cultural significance.

Liberal	15	Yes	Sounds good we accept
Liberty For Belvaria!	5	Yes	Corporal punishment is assault, and that is that. While the other articles are questionable, they can be amended at another time, whereas corporal punishment is a real danger that threatens the welfare and well-being of the next Belvarian generation.

Together We Can	6	Yes	Our party supports this proposal. We believe that being free of the threat of physical violence is one of the core elements of freedom, the freedom this party stands for.
