Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
The Left	119	No	We cab't support this proposal
The Marianne Liberty Alliance Proposer	38	Yes	No reason given
The National Refoundation Front	93	No	This bill is an irresponsible ultraliberal drift that sells off our national sovereignty for the benefit of foreign interests. By authorizing the unrestricted purchase of our land by non-residents and selling off our strategic public industries, it sacrifices the country's economic independence on the altar of blind capitalism. Worse still, its completely open immigration policy and the abolition of all quotas directly threaten our social cohesion and the stability of our public services, which are already under strain. It is a destructive vision that weakens workers, excessively deregulates education, and tramples collective security. We vote no to this great leap into the unknown that destroys our national bulwarks!
The United Conservatives	50	No	This will drive up housing and cost of living prices, create conflict amongst immigrants and our people and destroy domestic production.
