Live tally across each chamber. Weighted by seats held.
Bundesrat
FailedFor: 16 / 69 seats (23.2%)
Against: 43 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 10
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights | 16 | No | As we've already voted for Competence And Freedom's liberal proposal on immigration, we cannot vote for a nationalist, chauvinistic measure which would impact very negatively both on our job market, and our society as a whole causing pointless tension and disorders. |
| Competence And Freedom | 8 | No | Our previously submitted proposal already intends to loosen restrictions, not make them stricter. As we have already argued there, easier immigration is beneficial for the economy. |
| Homeland Alliance | 16 | Yes | We must implement more stringent regulations to address the issue of immigration into our welfare systems. |
| Left Forward | 13 | No | Nobody denies that housing is expensive or that our public services are under pressure. But those problems did not begin with immigration. They are the result of years of political choices and too little investment. Cutting immigration will not build more homes, open new classrooms, or shorten hospital waiting lists. If we want better public services, we have to invest in them. |
| Saxenheim Republic | 6 | No | Strict immigration policies do not protect a nation's economy or borders; instead, they cause severe labor shortages in key industries, drive up consumer prices, and push migration into the hands of illegal smuggling networks. When legal channels are blocked, it does not stop people from moving, but instead forces the system underground, draining public finances through expensive border enforcement and reducing overall tax revenues. In conclusion, restricting immigration fails to deliver security and instead creates economic stagnation and administrative chaos, proving that managed, legal, and orderly pathways are the only effective way to ensure national prosperity and rule of law. so saxenheim Republic opposes this proposal |
