Congress elections october 2012
Lisamunusira
Elections are over. Final results are unknown. Admins will check for multies. However some results are clear.
Albania, Australia, Belarus, Bosnia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Japan, Portugal, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine will be without congress. They were without regions at day change.
Some nations are very small or are part of another nation (Denmark is part of Germark). Some nations are big. Romania has been in Asia and occupied big parts there but was kick out by Indonesia and Chili. Bulgaria did not free any of Romanians original regions so Romania is one of the big nations without congress. Their air strike backfired.
Belarus just before day change lost his last region to Lithuania.
As these two nations are enemies of United Kingdom this is good news.
Other enemies like Ukraine and Portugal are also without congress now.
Iran got a congress. It is to be hoped we can improve our relations with them.
United Kingdom
Heavy flame wars, much vote buying for to get articles in top 5, lots of shouts and mass pm-ing was happening in UK. Their is a fierce combat between so called opposition (or anti-TUP movement) and governmental parties (or TUP and so called friends). I do think there is more as TUP and anti TUP, like their is more than black and white, but fore some it is difficult to see.
The result
The results are not definite.
Results are compared with September 2012.
13 seats for TUP (+2) 177 votes (+22) 31% (+1.66😵
10 seats for NE (+3) 144 votes (+59) 16.22% (+9😵
(got support of 4 minor parties)
8 seats for UKPP(same) 119 votes (-20) 20.84% (-5.69😵
(lost PCP support)
6 seats for ESO (-1) 96 votes (-31) 15.06% (-3.26😵
(lost WRP support)
3 seats for UKRP (-1) 55 votes (-10) 7.88% (-2.62😵
40 seats total (same) total votes 571 (+47)
In September PCP had 3 seats in the congress. I do not know if they ran under another party. PCP has 58 members, so their votes are important.
Each seat needs 2.5% of the votes. As TUP had the most rest 1%, it got the last seat. This seat could be gained by other parties when admins does find multies in TUP. We will know at 6.00 hours eRep time.
The parties
TUP made a nice result, most votes and most seats and better result than last month. NE won again many seats and is second in UK now. Of course part of their success is gained in diplomatics to get the support of 4 minor parties. UKPP is stable at 8 seats. ESO lost 1 seat, they are in decline some time now. UKRP lost their gain of last month and is back on 3 seats, stable as number 5 party of the UK. PCP is on 6th place with quite a lot of members. With an alliance they could gain some seats.
The so called opposition have about 18 eats now. It would be nice when they could use this to make good proposals to improve UK.
UK is improving. It had 571 total votes, the best result of 2012 apart from the top month June 2012 with 676 votes.
I wish all members of congress lots of wisdom and good luck.
Cheesecake for all:
It is red because a left wing party is the biggest.

Really you guys have to get over this 'anti-TUP' paranoia. You are the largest party in Congress again, You have the CP again as well as a lockdown on who gives the nod for Citizenship acceptance. Who else are people going to talk about if they dont like the way something is being run?
In real life you wouldnt complain about the SNP if the Tories are in charge would you?????
If you dont like criticism then dont run so many candidates or actively approach new players to join TUP. Simple
And voted by the way
I complain about the SNP (they are in charge here) and the Tories ARE in charge overally. : p
Voted.
oooh catty! I can hear your teeth grinding over each word Niemand.
I belive that NE also gained alot of members, heavy media presence and perhaps even some PCP voters, there was also at least one multi account in TUP called "Stefansucks" or something similar but I expect some in all parties.
What has happened is that the UK has been polarised between "The Government" and "The Opposition", the most vocal party in each group gained votes and Congressmen (TUP and NE) because of this.
agreed with hugh, and the only pm i got was from TUP..
What will happen now the sides have been drawn with roughly 50% of the vote each, is that either side must win the debate over the future of the UK.
Are we satsfied with a "troubleshooter" managing the UK and things pretty much chugging along the same, or do we want a "visionary" leading the UK into funner times ahead? It's a choice between the style of last 4 years doing what you are told by the selected few (has that got us anywhere?) and a new style where we each carve our own destiny.
'or do we want a "visionary" leading the UK into funner times ahead?'
I fail to see a visionary amongst us in the eUK. We have a lack of willing talent.
@ "It's a choice between the style of last 4 years doing what you are told by the selected few (has that got us anywhere?)"
As far as I know, please correct me if I'm wrong, the UK citizens elects the CP and congress?
Visionary? Who is this visionary just out of interest? I assume he/she will be running for pm next month too?
This article is still lacking breasts no matter what arguments and fancy comments are thrown out by all sides.
FOR SHAME NIEMAND...FOR SHAME!!!
Goku is a visionary ofc, just like Nick Clegg in RL. They both are/were good at populism and criticism whilst in opposition, not so good at running a country.
Asking for breasts is done I think by people where testosterone is damaging their thinking. Take a shower and eat some cheesecake.
Now for the debate. I see some doing what they do quite often.
"Really you guys have to get over this 'anti-TUP' paranoia."
Sorry this article is made by one person. I do not care whether a party is against another party, I just stated it is like that. Things are not run by TUP, things are run by congress (minority is TUP), by government (about half is TUP) and
by CP (yes he is from TUP). I do think it should be best to counter ideas than a party, but it is all the parties choices.
Guko seems to know very well who are multies or not. Seems he has big involvement in such tactics. I do hope all multies and their origin will be banned.
I made this article with a lot of pleasure (otherwise I wouldn't do it, because it is a game). It seems someone is not visionary.
Moar cheesecake!
2, 4, 3, 1, 1
multi accounts removed by party, top to bottom
TUP 13, NE 10, UKPP 8, ESO 6 & UKRP 3 seats.
Congrats to all elected.
Hail eUK
Heil eUk x3
Well Done New Era
10 seats is good but there is a long way to go
Now it's time to up our game !
NEW ERA is here
And it begins
NEW ERA is here indeed mr Dapper \o/
A Dawn of a New Era?
Thanks for voting, as a member of Congress I will work to help serve the people of this country.
Try serving them with articles containing breasts because theres bloody none in this one!!!
v+s
Great article! Voted
'A Dawn of a New Era?'
Might have been had New Era not agreed to play by the rules already laid down. More of a false dawn...
They realised they'd get more votes if they didn't threaten to destroy the country.
Hppy with these results overall... Nice impartial summary of them Niemand, thanks.
maybe if congress members worked for thier people and not just to have a nice shiney medal would greatly help. not saying all do it for this but i believe you should be active and have at least a year in the game before trying for congress.
lol Danie Fox, damned if we do and damned if we don't!
Just put the screenshot up Goku so people know who the 'nice' party is : P
I'm awaiting the first admission of PTOers
