Vote tally
Live tally across each chamber. Weighted by seats held.
Bundesrat
PassedFor: 34 / 69 seats (49.3%)
Against: 33 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 2
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights | 23 | No | As a liberal party, we fail to see why an adult shouldn't be allowed to buy or look up NSFW material. This is not aligning with international standards, unless your standards are f*scist and Maoist dictatorships. Individual freedom is the core principle of any democratic country, something Saxenheim's right-wing parties fail to understand, we reckon. |
| Homeland Alliance | 10 | Yes | Children should not be shown such media. |
| Left Forward | 10 | No | Protecting minors and people working in adult content matters. But heavily restricting legal adult content is not the answer. Our coalition will focus on enforcing existing age restrictions, regularly reviewing content and making sure participation is informed and voluntary. We also want better information about addiction and the possible consequences for performers. That gives people protection without treating all adult content or adults themselves as a problem. |
| Saxenheim Workers’ Union Proposer | 24 | Yes | No reason given |
