Vote tally
House Of Commons
FailedFor: 55 / 240 seats (22.9%) — needs 67.0%
Against: 72 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 113
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freedom Alliance | 0 | No | Power belongs to the people, not an unchosen monarch. Establishing a monarchy introduces unnecessary state institutional hierarchy and compromises individual sovereignty. Effective checks and balances must come from constitutional limits and democratic oversight, not inherited authority. |
| Iron Pillars | 33 | No | A monarch is not needed for this country. |
| Labour Proposer | 55 | Yes | No reason given |
| National Conservative | 39 | No | No, no, no, no, no. We do not have a monarchy currently and this is clearly just an labour power grab |
