| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Voie Rouge Proposer | 9 | Yes | No reason given |
| Liberal Platform | 15 | Yes | The Liberal Platform supports this proposal. Extending the minimum working age to eighteen keeps young Wëlsterers in the classroom during their most formative years, turning our stated commitment to education into real years of learning rather than early entry into the workforce. This is not a new position for us — it reflects a reform we are pursuing ourselves. Good policy deserves support regardless of which party brings it forward, and this one aligns squarely with our principles. |
