[Dictator] Referendum Result/Congress Election
Mr Woldy
Hello Citizens!
The referendum cycle has finished, and a conclusive result has been reached.
You have opted to stage a meta-election!
The results of the referendum are as followe
😛
Round 1 votes - a) 16 b) 6 c) 17 d) 3 e) 2
Round 2 votes - a) 18 b) 6 c) 17 d) 3
Round 3 votes - a) 19 b) 6 c) 17
Round 4 votes - a) 19 c) 21.
After each round the total number of votes may decrease due to people who did not allocate each option with a preference. The full results are here.
Nonetheless, as you can see Option C held out after minority results were removed and their votes redistributed according to said preferences. As such, there’s no point in hanging about - I have created the election doc. The voting shall commence from the time of this article being published and last at least 24 hours, with a possible extension if turnout is low or if PP's collectively feel they cannot provide Congress lists in this time, in which case an extra 24 hrs shall be provided.
I have sought to mimic ingame elections as closely as possible, so voters can choose one of the top five parties to choose from. I have requested a list of Congress Members from the parties and shall allocate seats corresponding to the % of the votes each party gets.
VOTE HERE
I am leaving it in the hands of PP’s and the Cabinet to circulate this doc/article to try and get as wide a turnout as possible.
By tomorrow evening we will have a Congress and the speaker can set about arranging them and getting them promptly back on task. Thanks to everyone who has participated in resolving this issue. o7
Thanks for reading,
Woldy

Will it be a 20 seat or 40 seat Congress?
Most likely 20, because I expect the turnout won't be as high as an actual IG election and if the turnout is in keeping with the referendums we can expect around 50 votes, 50 votes to appoint 40 people seems like it will create an exaggerated result so keeping a 20 man Congress can help keep a lid on that. But I'm open to debate on that one.
Actually we ought to have at least 75% of an IG vote to ensure validity. Anything else is likely to be highly biased
I am inclined to agree, but the ship has failed on the debating front
:/... you dont know how pleasant is to be a goverment without congress... xD (not talking about steal xD, but in Spain we have a lot of stupid laws xD).
ESO!
So Congress is still chosen by 4 PP's and Prince Harry 🙁
We actually had a chance to do things differently this term and we choose to do the same old thing...
Temporary solution isn't it. No reason why we can't implement a more complex system for future times
Rory you are way off the mark and a little research and public knowledge would help you before you make such remarks - we struggle to get enough people, so the people who normal apply get it their is no choosing most the time we struggle as people are not that interested in congress that why I ask you if you wanted a seat.
Agree, if we're going to the trouble of doing a vote outside of the game rules, why stick to the stupid rule of having to vote for a party instead of a person? I'd rather get to pick the top 20 people from across all the parties than have to hope the PPs put the best people in their party at the top of their list...
To be honest I wouldn't mind exploring alternatives but I am with Boatboy here, that's something Congress can discuss in patching up this hole in the constitution. At the moment I'm a bit too conscious of the wars we are trying to fight and the laws we need to get passed to do it to drag the process out any longer :3
British Patriots!
Hats off to Mr Woldy.
I barely recognised my party since you wrote the whole name
We're the ones who have progression in the name, right?
Thats what I voted
No vote from me, hope other parties get more seats than my, just because I think about your health, obviously stuff like this helps with your erectile dysfunction problems.
