The People's Synod

Against: 0 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 0
| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ahl Al Sunna Wa Al Jama’a | 0 | No | We support several elements of this proposal, particularly the move toward licensed fossil-fuel extraction with reasonable caps and stronger protections against child exploitation. However, we cannot support unrestricted strike action, a blanket ban on single-use plastics, or removing the existing tax recognition of registered religious organisations. These are five substantially different policies bundled into a single bill. If the provisions were separated, we would be prepared to support some of them individually. As currently drafted, we will vote No. |
