Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights	31	Yes	ADFR strongly supports repealing art. XX, as much of what it regulates can be provided for via ordinary law, and several of its provisions were divisive by their own nature. We also support a dedicated new Ministry for labour. We're a bit more skeptical about having one dedicated only to equality matters, as they could be subsumed into the current health and social affairs one, but we'll nonetheless vote for it.
Alliance23	8	Yes	Expanding representation and removing an unnecessary 'duty of...every citizen' is a great change for Saxenheim's constitution.
Homeland Alliance	0	Not voted
Left Forward Proposer	5	Yes	No reason given
Saxenheim Workers’ Union	20	No	The proposed ministries add unnecessary bureaucratic layers and institutionalize identity-based policy divisions within the government. Repealing the existing constitutional protection of Saxenheim’s national symbols would also undermine continuity and national unity. Government should remain streamlined and focused on common national interests rather than expanding specialized political administration.
