Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Compassionate Collective Proposer	51	Yes	No reason given
National Moderation League	0	Abstain	The National Moderation League supports strong regulation of essential industries to protect consumers and ensure fair competition. However, we believe effective regulation achieves these goals without requiring state ownership. We therefore support a balanced mixed economy that protects both the public interest and economic efficiency. Despite Ideologically opposing this bill, We would support a moderate version if presented in future to strengthen the nation and honor our close relationship with the CC
