Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

“I completely disagree. At 14, they’re still children; they’re not even ready for light work, and it’s important that they go to school until they’re 18 – or at the very least until they’re 16.”

“This reform gives young people greater freedom to choose their future. Not everyone is suited to academic study, while every profession is essential to Zorat’s economy. Earlier vocational training can develop practical skills, reduce labor shortages and promote merit, responsibility and independence. Education should offer different paths, not force everyone into the same one. A stronger workforce means a stronger nation. Let every citizen find where they can excel and contribute. This approach also strengthens social mobility by giving young people practical opportunities regardless of their background. It can create a more flexible, productive and competitive economy while respecting individual talents and ambitions.”
