Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Alliance23 Proposer	0	Yes	No reason given
Saxenheim Workers’ Union	15	No	These reforms would undermine Saxenheim’s energy independence and place additional costs on heavy industry. A moderate economy-wide carbon price and tighter extraction limits could reduce domestic production, while the existing approach prioritizes domestic energy security, industrial competitiveness, and jobs. Environmental standards should still be enforced, but they should not come at the expense of strategic energy independence or national industry.
