Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Conservative Movement	2	No	Legalizing adult content without any limits, raising the age of criminal responsibility to 16 while practically giving away citizenship in two flat years: DSU delivers an explosive cocktail of laxity and pure demagoguery! Under the guise of "modernization," this proposal strips away essential safeguards, undermines our security, and abandons our youth to absolute chaos. The DSU is sacrificing republican order and Matterhorn's fundamental balances on the altar of a progressivism completely detached from reality. Voting no means rejecting societal chaos, defending our citizens' security, and putting a stop to the DSU's destructive delusions!
