House of Representatives
FailedFor: 145 / 435 seats (33.3%)
Against: 247 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 43
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broadlands Democrats | 0 | No | We support economic growth, but essential services also require fair worker protections and appropriate public oversight. This bill goes too far. |
| Forward Broadlands | 60 | No | This is an evil and vile law that attacks the rights of workers and puts essential services at the mercy of private profit. Banning or restricting the right to strike strips essential workers of one of their most important tools to demand fair treatment, while Pax's new softer regulations risks putting profit before the public good. We must unite against this kind of capitalist nonsense and defend workers, public ownership, and the quality of life of the people of Broadlands. |
| Homeland Union | 60 | Yes | Our industry needs this! |
| Pax Americana Proposer | 85 | Yes | No reason given |
| People's Revolutionary Communist Front | 72 | No | Pax Americana is a totalitarian and f@scist movement! We can't support this bill! |
