Götalands Arbetarparti Proposer	530	Yes	No reason given
Moderata Samlingspartiet	469	No	While this proposal contains some positive ideas, we cannot support it as a whole. We believe in opportunity through responsibility—not bigger government. Higher education should be accessible, and we will explore interest-free government student loans instead of universal free tuition. We support targeted reforms that strengthen working families, protect taxpayers, and encourage growth—not policies that expand the state and restrict enterprise. Therefore, Moderata Samlingspartiet votes against this proposal.
