Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Forward United	0	No	We agreed with everything in the bill except the final part. Yes abolishing private landlords is a start but the state which is run by an oligarchy party taking over rental housing seems corrupt. It seems like you are gonna give those houses to your best friends while pricing out the working class people of this country. We cannot and will not support this bill
Socialist Republican Workers League Proposer	36	Yes	No reason given
The Republican Alternative (TRA)	0	Yes	The Republican Alternative votes FOR this law to defend private property and free-market economics. Hard caps and state monopolies destroy investment and create shortages. We support market-driven rents, private efficiency, and the Right-to-Buy to make working families proud homeowners—not dependents of the state.
