Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Centralist Unity	19	No	We will not vote in favor of weakening Drumagh's exemplary education by allowing ideas of homeschooling or ending free access to higher education. Approving this will inevitably take a higher price than keeping them. We see no reason for pricing carbon given Drumagh's need for a developed heavy industry to supply its internal needs.

New Morning Movement	29	No	No, it's stupid, we can't support this bill
Progressive Democratic Union	29	No	The Progressive Democratic Union supports the right to full education . Even if we didn't , increasing carbon prices , due to the fact that it would give companies a reason to price gouge consumers and blame it on tax hikes
