| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Columbian Communist Congress | 0 | Yes | This is a much needed change. Public ownership ensures fair business practices where a private monopoly could have free reign to put profit before people. |
| Conservative Alliance Of Columbia (CAC) | 79 | No | Strategic industries should remain open to private investment and competition rather than being transferred into government ownership. Public ownership risks reducing efficiency, weakening competition, increasing political interference, and placing unnecessary financial burdens on taxpayers. The government should regulate essential industries effectively while allowing private enterprise to drive investment, innovation and growth. |
| Free Citizens Alliance | 8 | No | We oppose government control of important industries |
| Peoples Columbian Socialist Alliance Proposer | 0 | Yes | No reason given |
| Socialism Alliance Of Columbia | 0 | No | While strategic industries should serve the public interest, outright government ownership is not the only way to achieve that goal. A competitive private sector can provide investment and innovation when supported by strong regulation, worker protections and public-interest safeguards. The priority should be ensuring affordability, reliability and fair access rather than expanding state ownership for its own sake. |
