Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Broadlands Democrats	0	No	We support fair social reforms, but this proposal replaces balanced progress with ideological extremism.
Forward Broadlands	0	No	Forward Broadlands supports stronger workers' rights, a fairer welfare system and accessible public healthcare, but this proposal goes far beyond practical reform. Abolishing private land ownership, forcing every enterprise into worker ownership and setting retirement at 50 would fundamentally restructure Broadlands' economy and society. We believe in progressive change that improves people's lives while remaining responsible, sustainable and workable. We will support workers and public services without pursuing such sweeping and disruptive measures.
