Vote tally
Live tally across each chamber. Weighted by seats held.
First Council of Ministers
FailedFor: 39 / 100 seats (39.0%)
Against: 49 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 12
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centralist Unity | 23 | No | So called "efficiency" that this bill seeks will quickly be reverted when workers are unable to pay for healthcare, and thus spend more time sick, and when they are forced to assist their elderly with much more than just a part of their taxes. Ending public healthcare and care for the elderly will not bring efficiency, gains or any other benefits to Drumagh or its people, but will certainly bring many new profits for a pharmaceutical-financist clique. And who is against consumer protections? The better they are for consumers the more the designers are forced to make higher quality products, thus improving Drumagh's productive quality. |
| Libertarian Congress Proposer | 21 | Yes | No reason given |
| New Morning Movement | 18 | Yes | We really love that! |
| Progressive Democratic Union | 18 | No | The PDU does not support weakening consumer protections, or cutting social care to an effective means tested program, or in effectiveness abolishing public insurance |
| The Democratic Workersparty | 8 | No | We can’t agree with this bill |
