| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| National Conservative Rally | 0 | No | We dont support this bill |
| New Popular Front | 0 | Yes | We support this proposal |
| The Greens Of Marianne | 290 | Yes | Ensuring that our children get full education will have enormous benefits for future generations. |
| The Marianne Liberty Alliance Proposer | 0 | Yes | No reason given |
| The National Refoundation Front | 0 | No | True national strength is built upon the freedom of the family, not the expansion of state-controlled mandates. By forcing our youth to remain in a rigid, state-directed school system until age 18, we undermine the liberty of parents to decide what is best for their children and restrict the ambition of young individuals ready to contribute to our economy. We believe that a dynamic nation is forged by empowering youth to pursue their own path, whether through apprenticeship, trade, or enterprise, rather than trapping them in an extended bureaucratic environment. This is not "preparation", it is state overreach ! We choose to trust our citizens and their families to shape their own futures. We stand for a nation of free, productive individuals, not a nation of state wards. |
