Congress Election Statistics
•
by Sir Gulden Draak
Greetings my dear readers, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Remember, only 365 days (leap year) until the next Christmas so make sure you get that shopping done early. Because I am a math dork, I have decided to compile some basic statistics on yesterdays congress elections for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind, sixth party candidates run in many of the top five parties, and they win elections by raising their own support. Therefore, these statistics may be skewed somewhat, but should still provide an accurate representation of where our top five parties currently stand. Thanks for reading, don't forget to vote and sub.
Total number of seats won and percentage won
USWP 28 (51😵
AMP 9 (16😵
NCP 8 (15😵
Feds 7 (13😵
Libs 3 (5😵
Nothing really shocking here, USWP the party with the most members, got the most seats. Feds should have probably performed a little bit better, given the fact that they are the party with the third most members, but got the fourth most seats. Whether you like it or not, it is clear the New Conservative Party is on the rise, so the other parties better take notice. The Libs are still struggling, and in my opinion seem to suffering from a lack of core leadership.
Ratio of congressmen: party member
USWP 1:21
AMP 1:52
NCP 1:43
Feds 1:58
Libs 1:89
This is where the statistics become a little bit more telling. The Libs, Feds, and AMP all suffered from abysmal congressmen😛
arty member ratios. It is clear that at the moment, the USWP is light years ahead of all the other parties. Once again, the Libs struggle mightily. Though congress has never been their strong suit, it is clear that the Libs are in need of a strong leader to to right the ship before it sinks.
Average margin of victory in congress races
USWP 5 votes
AMP 11 votes
NCP 8 votes
Feds 6 votes
Libs 3 votes
Here, we can kind of see the reason for the AMP's problems. In the regions that they won, they had a margin of victory of 11 votes, this accounts for almost 100 wasted votes. If they would have spread things around a little more, it is likely they could have won a lot more seats. To me this is a little shocking for a party like the AMP where most members are also military members who are used to following orders. I don't know if it is failed leadership, or certain AMP members hoarding all the military votes, but it is clear something needs to change if they want to compete with the USWP. Good news for the Libs here, in the races they did win the votes where managed well.
My Overall Grades
USWP A
Way ahead of everyone, party has the most members and seems to be well organized.
NCP B
This party really seems to be on the rise, they are recruiting well and the members seem to be excited. This has led to the party behaving more like a team than a party.
Feds C
Didn't do great, didn't do bad. Just kind of meh. Not much to say here.
AMP D
Something is wrong here, whether it be leadership or something else. Despite recruiting well and having an active party they are still way behind.
Libs F
Ummmmmmmm, yeah. Murphy's Law in full effect with this party. They are in desperate need of new leadership, or a new party direction it seems.
Well that is all, keep in mind these are my opinions only so I am sorry if you got butthurt. Be aware, the stats don't lie. Until next time....

This should help other parties to see what they are doing wrong and change it.
Voted. Good article Gulden.
no +?
u cut deep
The Paper Mache doesn't operate on a +/- system. Otherwise Libs would have got a F-.

nice article!
~hyuu~
Good article. Things to take note of.
Good article Draak.
Too many numbers make my head hurt and then you through in letters too!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
Good article indeed 🙂
As always quality stuff...V+S long time ago
Excellent article. It does show some very telling stuff on wasted votes.
Nice article, good sir.
Voted
Great article, voted. I was worst waste of votes, unfortunately.
does this mean I need to come back sooner?
Haliman wasted 39 votes.
Cool stuff.
BIG VOTE
Good article Gulden!
NCP may have done well in the elections, but right now they have a F in following directions and being Congressmen. One rogue proposal already up and the day isn't even half over.
Chichiko was not briefed on procedures. He is a Georgian, give him a break. They are good friends of the USA.
Chichiko was briefed enough to have proposal percentages that obviously mean something to someone in terms of benefiting from the result if it passed, he should be censured to the extent that every member will know this is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
PS: SGD - Great article, straightforward, honest analysis.
PtH in the end its a rouge proposal.
If it is going to get voted down anyways then whats the problem. Tell him what he did wrong, and end of that.
Lexone: The problem is that each Congressman gets only two proposals per month by the game, so he just wasted 50% of his monthly allotment. Plus it makes him and NCP look like derps after doing well in elections, makes people wonder if NCP is serious or not.
"AMP D
Something is wrong here....."
You reap what you sow.
Kell, think you are just angry about the result.
After what the Georgian people had to go through in 2008, we can give them a break. Chill out.
You are just being a derp as usual, Pizza. You still wonder why people PTO your party? It's because you're an idiot.
@PTH2
So you guys finally get into top 5, and the first thing you do is mess up. It's just not a good start.
Voted!
Libs problem is a lack of leadership CORE. When I was there, only 3 of us did ANYTHING to be honest. The party needs a group to lead it.
Maybe a group of us can get together and go fix it, Gulden?
I'm down Jude
Party leadership is supposed to prepare their candidates. even if not all candidates running, a single mass mail to the 8 NCP winners would have prevented Chiciko from making this "rogue" Proposal.
in my capacity as Deputy Speaker (for another few days) I've sent a letter to this Congressman, then a copy of it to the Party President and Speaker.
as for stats, I'd be interested to see, at a glance as these are presented, the "up xx seats, down xx seats" breakdown.

Let's party!
PtH2, as his PP, wasn't it more or less your responsibility to 'brief' Chichiko, or get elected a more responsible player? So his lame move is all on you? I am certain that if this was a member of another party you would not be so quick to defend a waste of proposals and, at least to my point of view, such a specific and designed proposal that would have increased the price of weaps by hurting our import supply.
Nice article - good stats.
Gollygeewilickers, I thought this was suppose to be quality over quantity, but it looks like instead of making sure the best Congressmember gets elected, based upon the issues, it is about making sure your Party gets as many Congressmembers elected regardless of how incompetent they may be. With your experience, Sir Gulden Draak, I would hope that you would have understood -- or at least mentioned it.
Also, how about some stats on the Congressmembers elected, how many times previously each of them have been in Congress, as a way of showing us how much chance we're giving newbs to serve and how much or little change we can expect to see?
Okay...
I was one of the three Libs to make it into Congress. I'm a 6th party member, (Revolutionary Party) so they really only had two. Huh, we have the same amount of people in Congress as the Libs.
\o/

@Lysander: you are right, I probably should have mentioned something about that. With this article, I was trying to show how one party seems to have taken over and is ruling the nation. I think quality and quantity can also be linked. For instance, I believe that a party the size of the AMP could have found more than 9 people that they thought were quality candidates and worked to put them into office. The same can be said for the Libs. The grades I assigned were my own bias, and based on what I thought a parties potential was and if they met that potential during yesterdays elections.
In reference too your second paragraph, that is a good idea. It takes a while compile these statistics and I did not have the time today. Plus I did not think this article would get the response it has. Now that I know people are interested in these statistics, I will be providing more next election cycle.
Thanks for your input,
Gulden
Gulden, thanks for the reply and I hope to see those stats in the future. It seems Leadership in this game is defined as the ability to strategically snipe. Of course when the largest party has Pfeiffer with his 50 multis, which can be used to pad vote totals in the last hour of the election, is that really good leadership?
Voted.
I enjoy the election cycle 🙂
I don't really understand the whole 'Pfeiffer's army of multis' comments. Is it just a running joke or are some people serious?

Thanks for all the subs everyone.

I do hope its a joke
