Radical Republican Union
Voted Nov. 17, 2021
No

“We will not support this bill, for the sake of Drumagh's economic recovery. Of course, we woud like to support measures 2, 3 and 4, some of which we have already attempted to pass ourselves. But articles 1 and 5 would put a financial strain on the country that is not very welcomed given Drumagh's indebtment.”

Centralist Unity
Voted Oct. 18, 2021
No

“Unrestricted rights to strike will lead to chaos. We support the workers right to strike as long as it is democratically decided by the collective of workers and not troublemakers seeking to cause chaos and corrupt the strong workers of Drumagh.”

Yes Changed vote

“It is a deceptive social-democratic compromise that seeks to pacify class struggle instead of overthrowing the bourgeois system. On one hand, it dangles advances in digital rights or mental health to buy social peace; on the other hand, it institutionalizes and regulates the right to strike instead of recognizing the absolute sovereignty of workers. As revolutionaries, we cannot endorse these superficial reforms that keep the capitalist state apparatus intact and try to lull proletarian consciousness with legislative crumbs. True emancipation will never come from the bourgeois Parliament, but from the destruction of the existing order through revolutionary struggle.”
