Progressive Future	111	Yes	is a lot more sensible
Red Alliance	0	No	We cannot agree with all provisions of the bill. We believe the age of criminal responsibility should be raised, but only to 14. Crimes involving the police should be investigated by internal commissions, as "independent" courts can be subject to lobbying. The press should be subject to state moderation regarding sensitive issues. We support AI oversight. We support measures to assist pensioners. There are provisions in the bill with which we disagree; therefore, we are voting against it.
