| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights | 16 | No | ADFR believes that a minimal deterrent is an unfortunate necessity: as long as international relations will be dominated by a realist approach, instead of a liberal one, we cannot unilaterally disarm ourselves. However, expanding it is both a waste of money and an extremely dangerous signal we'd send to other countries, especially non-democratic ones. For these reasons, we cannot support such a proposal in any shape or form. |
| Competence And Freedom | 8 | No | While we agree that a minimal nuclear arsenal is necessary, we see no point in investing any more money into it than it is necessary to deter aggression. |
| Homeland Alliance | 0 | Yes | We should be a strong nation and not shy away while others stack their nuclear arsenal. |
| Left Forward | 13 | No | We accepted a minimal nuclear deterrent as a compromise, not because we believe it is the right long-term path. Expanding the arsenal moves us in exactly the wrong direction. Every additional warhead makes future disarmament harder and sends the message that nuclear weapons are here to stay. They should not be. Our goal remains a world without nuclear weapons, and that starts with refusing to build more of them. |
| Saxenheim Republic | 6 | No | We oppose this proposal as expanding nuclear arsenal are the major global threat unless internationally we are compelled to increase the nuclear arsenal . this would definitely give a great impact in international stability |
