Libertarian Congress
Voted May 1, 2023
Yes

“Yes, we can support this. It's not one of our priorities but it's good someone is working to liberalise social policy”

Centralist Unity
Voted April 22, 2023
No

“Drug usage is to be battled to death if necessary, we will not vote for allowing the citizens of Drumagh to be victimized by the poisons of body and soul! The "substances" turn body and mind weak, reducing the productivity of citizens, thus weakening Drumagh. To claim Drumagh's police needs more resources to continue crushing this sickness is to claim the National police is incompetent. Drumagh's police has and should continue to deal with this sickness as they have been doing without the need to "redirect the few available resources to more important priorities", as then we may as well legalize murder and thus allow the police to not use resources with those cases!”
